FOOTNOTES:
[447:1] From ἀφρὸς, foam.
[462:1] An Attic drachma was as near as may be 9-3/4d. So that a thousand will amount to something over 40l.
[468:1] The Greek is Ἐπικούρειος εἰκαδιστὴς, which last word was an epithet of the Epicureans, because they celebrated the death of their founder on the twentieth day of the month Gamelion. Vide L. & S. in voc.
[481:1] From σφὴν, a wedge.
[484:1] Schweighaeuser thinks that something has dropped out of the text here; and proposes to insert, "And Ulpian said."
[486:1] The burgh of Otryna was one of the most obscure ones, while the Phaleric burgh was one of those of the highest reputation.
[494:1] This is a pun on the similarity of the name Gela to γέλως, laughter, the compound κατάγελως meaning derision. And it is probably borrowed from Aristophanes, who says, Acharn. 606:—
τοὺς δ' ἐν καμαρίνῃ κᾀν Γέλᾳ κᾀν καταγέλᾳ.
[500:1] Venus Zephyritis was the name under which Arsinoe was worshipped; and the next line refers to the custom of the maidens on the occasion of their marriage making a sportive offering of their toys to Venus. Arsinoe was the wife and sister of Ptolemy Philadelphus.
