15: [Greek: Orgyia].] A great depth. We cannot suppose the
snow to have been of that depth everywhere. None of the commentators
make any remark.]

[Footnote 216: [Greek: Eboulimiasan].] Spelman quotes a description of
the [Greek: boulimia] or [Greek: boulimos] from Galen Med. Def., in
which it is said to be "a disease in which the patient frequently craves
for food, loses the use of his limbs, falls down, turns pale, feels his
extremities become cold, his stomach oppressed, and his pulse feeble."
Here, however, it seems to mean little more than a faintness from long
fasting.]

[Footnote 217: That this number is corrupt is justly suspected by
Weiske, and shown at some length by Krueger de Authent. p. 47. Bornemann,
in his preface, p. xxiv., proposes [Greek: hepta kai hekaton], a hundred
and seven. Strabo, xi. 14, says that the satrap of Armenia used to send
annually to the king of Persia twenty thousand horses. _Kuehner_. Krueger,
1. c., suggests that Xenophon may have written [Greek: S'] _two
hundred_, instead, of [Greek: IZ'], _seventeen_. In sect. 35 we find
Xenophon taking some of these horses himself, and giving one to each of
the other generals and captains; so that the number must have been
considerable.]

[Footnote 218: "This description of a village on the Armenian uplands
applies itself to many that I visited in the present day. The descent by
wells is now rare, but is still to be met with; but in exposed and
elevated situations, the houses are uniformly semi-subterraneous, and
entered by as small an aperture as possible, to prevent the cold getting
in. Whatever is the kind of cottage used, cows, sheep, goats, and fowls
participate with the family in the warmth and protection thereof."

[Footnote 219: [Greek: Oinos krithinos].] Something like our beer. See
Diod. Sic. i. 20, 34; iv. 2; Athenaeus i. 14; Herod, ii. 77; Tacit. Germ.
c. 23. "The barley-wine I never met with." _Ainsw._ p. 178.]

[Footnote 220: The reeds were used, says Krueger, that none of the grains
of barley might be taken into the mouth.]

[Footnote 221: Xenophon seems to mean _grape-wine_, rather than to refer
to the barley-wine just before mentioned, of which the taste does not
appear to have been much liked by the Greeks. Wine from grapes was not
made, it is probable, in these parts, on account of the cold, but Strabo
speaks of the [Greek: oinos Monarites] of Armenia Minor as not inferior
to any of the Greek w
