[Footnote 1401: The allusion is to Sesotris. See Herodotus ii. 102
foll.]
[Footnote 1402: Or, reading EMETEREN, "into our sea". The Euxine is
meant in any case and the word Ionian is therefore wrong.]
[Footnote 1403: Apollonius seems to have thought that the Po, the Rhone,
and the Rhine are all connected together.]
[Footnote 1404: i.e. like the scrapings from skin, APOSTLEGGISMATA; see
Strabo p. 224 for this adventure.]
[Footnote 1405: The "Symplegades" are referred to, where help was given

"Planctae", properly so called, past which they are soon to be helped.

[Footnote 1406: i.e. the Mighty One.]
[Footnote 1407: i.e. the Wanderers.]
[Footnote 1408: A fabulous metal, resembling gold in appearance.]
[Footnote 1409: i.e. the Sickle-island.]
[Footnote 1410: The old name of Corinth.]

optative is quite anomalous. We should expect EKOMIZES.]
[Footnote 1412: An old name of the Peloponnesus.]
[Footnote 1413: i.e. the isle of Revealing.]
