er, "Iliad," ix. 323, 324. Quoted also in "On
Love to One's Offspring," Sec. ii.

[272] The remark about Demosthenes has somehow slipped
out, as Wyttenbach has suggested.

[273] Does this refer to [Greek: Peleiadeo] before
[Greek: Hachileos] in "Iliad," i. 1?

[274] An allusion to some passage in a Play that has not
come down to us.

[275] Compare our Author, _De Audiendis Poetis_, Sec. xi.
[Greek: hosper ho Agesilaos ouk hypemeinen hypo tou
kalou philethenai prosiontos].

[276] Reading with Madvig and Hercher, [Greek: to gar
auton], sq.

[277] Literally _cork-like_, so vain, empty. So Horace,
"levior cortice," "Odes," iii. 9, 22.

[278] Marks of a philosopher among the ancients. Compare
our Author, "How one may discern a flatterer from a
friend," Sec. vii.

[279] "Odyssey," xvi. 187.

[280] AEschylus, "Toxotides," Fragm. 224. Quoted again by
our author, "On Love," Sec. xxi.

[281] "Turpe habitum fuisse in caupona conspici, et hoc
exemplo apparet, et alia sunt indicia. Isocrates Orat.
Areopagitica laudans antiquorum Atheniensium mores, p.
257: [Greek: en kapeleio de phagein e piein oudeis han
oiketes epieikes etolmese]: quem locum citans Athenaeus
alia etiam adfert xiii. p. 566, F."--_Wyttenbach._

[282] Wyttenbach compares Quintilian, "Institut. Orat."
iii. 6, p. 255: "Nam et Hippocrates clarus arte medicinae
videtur honestissime fecisse, qui quosdam errores suos,
ne posteri errarent, confessus est."

[283] Homer, "Odyssey," vi. 187.

[284] Homer, "Odyssey," xxiv. 402.

[285] Plato, "Republic," ix. p. 571, D.

[286] A somewhat similar story about Stilpo is told in
Athenaeus, x. p. 423, D.

[287] So Haupt and Herscher very ingeniously for [Greek:
hiereusin].

[288] Adopting the suggestion of Wyttenbach as to the
reading. The Dorian measure was grave and severe, the
Lydian soft and effeminate.

[289] See our author, "Apophthegmata Laconica," p. 220
C.

[290] Plato, "Symposium," p. 25, E.

[291] This line is quoted again by our author, "On Moral
Virtue," Sec. vii.

[292] Plato, "Laws," iv. p. 711, E.

[293] See those splendid lines of Lucretius, iv.
1155-1169.

[294] "Res valde celebrata ex Institutione Cyri
Xenophontea, v. 1, 2; vi. 1, 17."--_Wyttenbach._
