d and expanded from the _Discourses_ of Epictetus, bk. IV, i, 25. The original of the words quoted marginally by Chapman in a Latin version is, +ouchi d' hosoi malakoteron diexagei, tosoutoi doulikoteron?+ =207=, 181. =Simil[iter].= By this marginal reference Chapman seems to indicate that ll. 176-181 are drawn from the same source--the _Discourses_ of Epictetus--as ll. 157-160, to which the previous marginal note refers. But no such passage occurs in the _Discourses_. =209-210=, 205-34 =The Massacre . . . never massacerd.= On this strange _apologia_ for the Guise's share in the Massacre of St. Bartholomew, see _Introduction_, pp. xxxix-xl. =209-210=, 211-32. =Who was in fault . . . lost.= Freely adapted and transposed from the _Discourses_ of Epictetus, I, xxviii, 11-20. =210-211=, 246-9. =your brave . . . deere.= Cf. Appendix B, where De Serres mentions the Count of Auvergne's "Scottish horse (which Vitry had given him) the which would have outrunne all the horses of France." =213=, 5-6. =th'insulting Pillars Of Bacchus and Alcides.= These "Pillars" are mentioned together by Strabo (bk. III, vi), who relates that during Alexander's expedition to India the Macedonians did not see them, but identified those places with them, where they found records of the god or the hero. =216=, 69-70. =What thinke . . . lackies coates.= Cf. Appendix B, where Nerestan has _three_ "lackquaies," who are in reality "soldiars so attyred" for the purpose of arresting the Count of Auvergne. =217=, 82-6. =Who knowes . . . made:= who is unaware that crafty policy pads out the giant that does his will, so that his wisdom may seem commensurate with his bulk, though it is merely for a trifling encounter with what, when touched, proves a shadow, though policy makes it out to be a monster. =219=, 12. =The Locrian princes.= The inhabitants of Locri, a settlement near the promontory of Zephyrium, were celebrated for the excellence of their code of laws, drawn up by Zaleucus. =220=, 41-46. =Demetrius Phalerius=, born about B. C. 345, was a follower of Phocion, and on the death of the latter in B. C. 317, became head of the Athenian administration. The citizens, in gratitude for his services, erected 360 statues to him, but afterwards turned against him. In B. C. 307 he was driven from Athens, sentence of death was passed on him, and the statues were demolished. =220=, 47. =Demades=, a contemporary of Demosthenes, who, by his geniu
