ai exedran kai oikon megan, en ps to sussition ton metechonton tou Mouseion philologon andron esti de te sunodo taute kai chremata koina kai iereus o epi to Monseio, tetagmenos tote men upo ton Basileon nun d upo Kaisaros.] [13] One of the anonymous lives of Apollonius Rhodius states that he presided over the Museum Libraries ([Greek: ton bibliothekon ton Mouseion]). [14] Epiphanius, De Pond. et Mens., Chap. 12. [Greek: eti de usteron kai etera egeneto bibliotheke en to Serateio, mikrotera tes protes, etis thugater onomasthe autes.] [15] Ammianus Marcellinus, Book XXII., Chap. 16, Sec. 12. Atriis columnariis amplissimis et spirantibus signorum figmentis ita est exornatum, ut post Capitolium quo se venerabilis Roma in aeternum attollit, nihil orbis terrarum ambitiosius cernat. See also Aphthonius, _Progymn._ C. XII. ed. Walz, _Rhetores Graeci_, i. 106. [16] Pliny, _Hist. Nat._, Book V., Chap. 30. Longeque clarissimum Asiae Pergamum. [17] Strabo, Book XIII., Chap. 4, Sec. 2. After recounting the successful policy of Eumenes II. towards the Romans, he proceeds: [Greek: kateskenase de ontos ten polin, kai to Nikephorion alsei katephuteuse, kai anathemata kai bibliothekas kai ten epi tosonde katoikian tou Pergamon ten nun ousan ekeinos prosephilokalese]. [18] _De Architectura_, Book VII., Praefatio. The passage is quoted in the next note. [19] Pliny, _Hist. Nat._, Book XIII., Chap. 11. Mox aemulatione circa bibliothecas regum Ptolemaei et Eumenis, supprimente chartas Ptolemaeo, idem Varro membranas Pergami tradidit repertas. Vitruvius, on the other hand (_ut supra_) makes Ptolemy found the library at Alexandria as a rival to that at Pergamon. Reges Attalici magnis philologiae dulcedinibus inducti cum egregiam bibliothecam Pergami ad communem delectationem instituissent, tune item Ptolemaeus, infinito zelo cupiditatisque incitatus studio, non minoribus industriis ad eundem modum contenderat Alexandriae comparare. [20] Plutarch, _Antonius_, Chap. 57. To a list of accusations against Antony for his subservience to Cleopatra, is added the fact: [Greek: charisasthai men aute tas ek Pergamon bibliothekas, en ais eikosi muriades biblon aplon esan]. [21] _Altertuemer von Pergamon_, Fol., Berlin, 1885, Band 11. Das Heiligtum der Athena Polias Nikephoros, von Richard Bohn. The ground-plan (fig. 2) is reduced from Plate III. in that volume. [22] _Die Pergamenische Bibliothek._ Sitzungsberichte der Koenigl. Preuss.
