[Footnote 242: That there was honey in these parts with intoxicating
qualities, was well known to antiquity. Pliny, H. N. xxi. 44, mentions
two sorts of it, one produced at Heraclea in Pontus, and the other among
the Sanni or Macrones. The peculiarities of the honey arose from the
herbs to which the bees resorted, the first came from the flower of a
plant called aegolethron, or goats'-bane; the other from a species of
rhododendron. Tournefort, when he was in that country, saw honey of this
description. See Ainsworth, Travels in the Track, p. 190, who found that
the intoxicating honey had a bitter taste. See also Rennell, p. 253.
"This honey is also mentioned by Dioscorides, ii. 103; Strabo, xii. p.
826; AElian, H. A. v. 42; Procopius, B. Goth. iv. 2." _Schneider_.]

[Footnote 243: Lion and Kuehner have a notion that these skins were to be
given as prizes to the victors, referring to Herod, ii. 91, where it is
said that the Egyptians, in certain games which they celebrate in honour
of Perseus, offer as prizes cattle, cloaks, and [Greek: dermata], hides.
Krueger doubts whether they were intended for prizes, or were given as a
present to Dracontius.]
