Page 196. — Sharp only at the inglorious point of tongue is a verse, of which nothing is known. Life of Cimox, page 202. — Miltiades and his family were Laciadce, or Laciads, this being the name of the members of the township or demus of Lacia, which itself was more commonly thus called, the township Laciadae or the Laciads. Compare page 211. — For the quotation Rude and unrefined, see a note on the life of Marcellus at the end of Vol. H Pa<*e 203. — Laodice, of the daughters of Priam the best in appearance, occurs in the third Iliad (124). Iris took her form when she went to summon Helen to the walls, in the interval before the combat between Paris and Menelaus. Pace 207. — These inscriptions are quoted by iEschines 'In Ctesiphont., p. 573), in his speech on the Crown; the simple honors of old times contrasting favorably for his purpose with those now offered to Demosthenes. Butes is Boges in Herodotus, and Sochares (p. 208) is Sophanes. Page 212. — King Agesilaus is a doubtful reading; Agesilas or Arcesilas is more probable. Page 221. — The quotation from Aristophanes is from the Lysistrata (1138). Page 223. — Posidonia is Paestum ; this is one of the first things mentioned of it Pa^e 226. — Such was the Greek commander is a translation that has come from Amyot, " telle done a este la vie du capitaine Grec." The text, as we have it (agon, not hegemon), means Such is the Greek game, i. e., thus much is to be said for the Greek competitor in the present pair of lives. Lite of Luculixs, page 228. — Lash as a wounded tunny does the sea is quoted again in Plutarch's Essay on the Tardiness of the Gods in inflicting Pun- ishment (de Sera Xuminis Vindicta), where Wyttenbach, in his note, conjec- tures merely that it comes from a lost play of JEschylus or Sophocles, and the fragment following from a Comic writer. But nothing further is known. Page 232. — Marius should in correctness be Manius, as appears from Vel- leius Paterculus (77., 18), who relates how on the occupation of the coast and islands of Asia Minor by Mithridates, Manius Aquillius and other Romans were handed over to him by the Mitylenaeans. Page 235. — The Sophists in Plato's dialogues always begin boldly with any showy, blustering piece of logic that occurs to them ; and it is only whe,n Socrates has quietly exposed the futility of this, that they bring forward some- thing less pretentious and more to the point. Page 277.— The city .and adjoining villages or vici; such is Plutarch's ex- pression ; but the vici are properly the subdivisions of the regions, or wards, of the city, each under its proper officers or vici-magistri. Augustus made them four hundred and twenty-four in number. Many of these might in Lucullus's time have been called Bid, but not included in the city. Page 278. — The Lucullean gardens were those of the Garden Hill (the Col- lis Hortulorum), the Pincian of the present time. Horace, in the last line, is in the original Flaccus. Comparison, page 284. — Plato says it scornfully not of Orpheus, but Mu- saeus, in the Republic (77., p. 363).
