'Born in the Porphyry Chamber', 905-959 A.D.] [Footnote 1704: "Berlin Papyri", 7497 (left-hand fragment) and "Oxyrhynchus Papyri", 421 (right-hand fragment). For the restoration see "Class. Quart." vii. 217-8.] [Footnote 1705: As the price to be given to her father for her: so in "Iliad" xviii. 593 maidens are called 'earners of oxen'.
