whom he was said to have given their sisters for wives. In the

with which to put herself to death.]

[Footnote 52: _Clean wax tablets._--Ver. 521. Before the tablet
was written upon, the wax was 'vacua,' empty; or, as we say of

when any writing was erased.]

people of Caria, in Asia Minor, who were supposed to have sprung
from Grecian emigrants, who first inhabited the adjacent island,
