Surviving Works, Vol. II

many things which I do not need to repeat, as they were drawn from elsewhere; there are, moreover, many conjectures which appeared futile once the reading of the manuscripts was known; but other things are still worthy of being brought to light, for which reason, having added those that seemed to me to require adding, I thought they should be inserted here.

Sat. I, 7, 8. No religion forbade (Virg. Georg. I, 270). — 7, 36. Scholiast of the Comic poet on the Clouds p. 149. b. [to v. 397.]: "The Cronia is a festival among the Greeks, which is called the Saturnalia or Apaturia among the Romans." — 8, 9. Sathyros for Sathunos had been corrected earlier by Is. Casaubonus book I, chap. 2, On Satire. — 9, 9. Indeed, just as the new year is sacred to Janus among the Latins, so it is to Apollo among the Greeks. See Petit, Leges Atticae, p. 85. — 12, 3. Plutarch in Roman Questions, not far from the beginning [18.]: "And it occurred to some to think and to say that the Romans of that time completed the year not in twelve months but in ten." — 12, 8. Varro, book V, On the Latin Language, c. 4. [VI, 33.]. "The second month, as Fulvius and Iunius write, [is named] from Venus, because she is Aphrodite." — 13, 1. I change nothing [in the words: sub caelo rudi / under a rough sky]. Juvenal [X, 50.]: To be born under a thick air. — 14, 5. Write in one word anterminum, just as the Greeks write ampedion for ana pedion [up the plain]. — 15, 11. Glossae Isidori: Conclassare [to summon together], convocare [to call together]. — 16, 26. Plutarch recounts other things slightly differently from Livy concerning the day of the Allian slaughter and refutes it, Kephal. katagr. Rom. p. 481, ed. Steph. [c. 25.]. — 16, 33. Seneca, ep. XCIV. Approved by Turn. XV, 22.; Canusium Plut. [Add to the index of authors: see Geminus: Sueton. Caes. 9. Tanusius Geminus in History. Plutarch. Caes. 22. Tanusius says, etc. Senec. ep. 93, 10. You know how weighty the Annals of Tanusius are and what they are called, where Fickert cites Voss. De historicis Latinis I, p. 59, ed. Fref.] — 17, 23. Sospitatem [Safety]. Thus Horace [Od. IV, 5, 18.] used faustitatem [prosperity] in a new way. — 17, 35. Suidas writes in Peisandros and Cameiros and Cameiraios. I do not change anything, since Camerienses is worthy enough for Macrobius. Camerienses [is formed] like Carthaginienses, Nemausienses, Berytienses. You find the latter two in Eusebius, Chronicle; unless it is a hindrance that on p. 303 [§ 45] he said Camirenses. — 17, 38. See Heraclid. Pont., Allegoriae Homericae, p. 417 sq., ed. Gale. — 17, 45. Napaeos [is derived] rather from napē [wooded glen]. Thus Delphi was called before; see Paus. [X, 6, 1.]. Stephanus is different in Napē [a city of Lesbos ... the citizen is Napaeos, and Apollo Napaeos]. — 17, 46. Etymologus on the word helios [sun]: "or from hales [salt], the gathered fire. For it is said from halizō [to gather], to assemble, as Empedocles: But it, having been gathered, traverses the middle heaven." — 17, 49. Aristotle says hyetios [rain-bringer], others say ombrios [rain-bringer]. However, regarding Jupiter this is said elsewhere, not regarding Apollo. — 17, 50. apo tēs peuseōs [from the inquiry], as Strabo X wants [actually IX, 3, 5 p. 419 has: that both the prophetess and the city were called so from "to inquire"] and Phorn. p. 226 [see note, where you should add Eustath. p. 274, 15.]. — 17, 55. But she was Pronaia [the one before the temple]. See Hesychius, yet add Ez. Spanh. ad Callim. p. 621. — 17, 59. Perhaps they are Aristophanic anapests. ... For the middle apoleipsis [omission] is not often observed by the Greeks. — 17, 64. Stephanus is different in DIDYMA (see note); Solinus is different, chap. LVII, old ed. [In the Salm. ed. c. 49 is read: For the mark of whose glory he gave to his name, so that he might set up altars there to Apollo Didymaeus. This is the boundary line in which the Persian border joins the Scythians.] — 17, 65. Do not take Numenius of Apamea, but the other rhetorician living under Trajan. Concerning both, see Suidas. — 18, 3. Apollo Amyclaeus. See Liban. Diēgēmasin [Narratives], chap. XXV. — 18, 11. I would not easily change Sebadium to Sabazium. For Sabazium...
