Iliad," xvii. 591.

[684] The reading of the MSS. is [Greek: auton].

[685] Lines of Callimachus. [Greek: phlien] is the
admirable emendation of Salmasius.

[686] Sophocles, "Thamyras," Fragm. 232.

[687] "Iliad," v. 214-216.

[688] Reading [Greek: eniois], as Wyttenbach suggests.

[689] Aeschylus, "Prometheus," 574, 575.

[690] It will be seen I adopt the reading and
punctuation of Xylander.

[691] This is the reading of Reiske and Duebner.

[692] That is _mild_. Zeus is so called, Pausanias, i.
37; ii. 9, 20.

[693] That is, _fierce_, _furious_. It will be seen I
adopt the suggestion of Reiske.

[694] Literally "is silent about." It is like the saying
about Von Moltke that he can be silent in six or seven
languages.

[695] Adopting Reiske's reading.

[696] Compare Pausanias, iv. 8.

[697] Duebner puts this sentence in brackets.

[698] Sophocles, "Antigone," 563, 564.

[699] Homer, "Iliad," xix. 138.

[700] Homer, "Odyssey," xx. 392.

[701] Or strigils.

[702] Anticyra was famous for its hellebore, which was
prescribed in cases of madness. See Horace, "Satires,"
ii. 3. 82, 83.

[703] Homer, "Iliad," xxiv. 239, 240.

[704] A philosopher of Megara, and disciple of Socrates.
Compare our author, "De Fraterno Amore," Sec. xviii.

[705] So Reiske. Duebner reads [Greek: phobou]. The MSS.
have [Greek: phonou], which Wyttenbach retains, but is
evidently not quite satisfied with the text. Can [Greek:
phthonou]--[Greek: heteron] be an account of [Greek:
epichairekakia]?

[706] Up in the clouds. Cf. [Greek: aerobateo].

[707] Horace, remembering these lines no doubt, says "De
Arte Poetica," 191, 192,

"Nec deus intersit nisi dignus vindice nodus Inciderit."

[708] It is quite likely that the delicious poet Robert
Herrick borrowed hence his "To starve thy sin not bin,
That is to keep thy Lent." For we know he was a student
of the "Moralia" when at the University of Cambridge.

[709] See AEschylus, "Eumenides," 107. Sophocles,
"Oedipus Colonaeus," 481. See also our author's "De
Sanitate Praecepta," Sec. xix.

Dialogue in his "Holy Living," chapter iv. sect. viii.,
"Twelve remedies against anger, by way of exercise,"
"Thirteen remedies against
