elissus is mentioned by Ovid, De Pontif. iv 16-30.] [Footnote 894: See AUGUSTUS, c. xxix. p. 93, and note.] [Footnote 895: The trabea was a white robe, with a purple border, of a different fashion from the toga.] [Footnote 896: See before, c. x.] [Footnote 897: See CLAUDIUS, c. x1i. and note.] [Footnote 898: Remmius Palaemon appears to have been cotemporary with Pliny and Quintilian, who speak highly of him.] [Footnote 899: Now Vicenza.] [Footnote 900: "Audiat haec tantum vel qui venit, ecce, Palaemon."--Eccl. iii. 50.] [Footnote 901: All the editions have the word vitem; but we might conjecture, from the large produce, that it is a mistake for vineam, a vineyard: in which case the word vasa might be rendered, not bottles, but casks.
