Part 62

Reading [Greek: edokei] with Reiske.

Euripides, "Orestes," 420. Cf. "Ion," 1615.

Thucydides, iii. 38.

See the circumstances in Pausanias, iv. 17 and 22.

Compare Petronius, "Satyricon," 44: "Dii pedes lanatos habent." Compare also "Tibullus," i. 9. 4: "Sera tamen tacitis Poena venit pedibus."

Reading [Greek: maliota] (for [Greek: molis]) with Wyttenbach.

An allusion to the proverb [Greek: Opse Theou aleousi myloi, aleousi de lepta]. See Erasmus, "Adagia," p. 1864.

Cf. Plato, "Republic," 472 A.

See Note, "On Abundance of Friends," Sec. ii.

Reading [Greek: ei gar].

Or a world.

See above, Sec. ii.

Quoted also in "On restraining Anger," Sec. ii.

It seems necessary to read either [Greek: porizein] with Mez, or [Greek: horizein] with Wyttenbach.

Compare Aristophanes, "Vespae," 438.

See Pausanias, viii. 27.

Pindar.

Homer, "Iliad," xv. 641, 642.

See Thucydides, i. 127.

See Pausanias, v. 17; viii. 24; ix. 41; x. 29.

Hesiod, "Works and Days," 266.

Ibid. 265. Compare Pausanias, ii. 9; Ovid, A. A. i. 655, 656.

"Significat martyres Christianos, in tunica molesta fumantes."--Reiske.

Like the sword of Damocles. See Horace, "Odes," iii. 1. 17, 21.

See also Pausanias, iii. 17.

Surely [Greek: an anatrepoi] must be read.

Compare "On Curiosity," Sec. x.

The reading is very doubtful. I adopt [Greek: hedones men euthus kenen charin, elpidos eremon euriskousi.]
