FOOTNOTES:
[120] This reference is to the article by Julius Krohn mentioned at IV, 482 a.
[121] R. H. Stodart, Scottish Arms, 1881, II, 277, 276. What is there said of Elliot of Braidley was mostly communicated by Mr. R. B. Armstrong.
[122] Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, 1880-81, p. 93. At several places above I have used a letter from Mr. Armstrong to Mr. Macmath.
[123] In the original, apparently by exchange of like sounding words, My death which is cut short; that is, I suppose, prevented or postponed.
[124] I have to thank Professor Wollner for giving me in translation the two tales from Afanasief and a Bulgarian tale presently to be mentioned.
[125] In the Greek tale, I, the prince confides his trouble to an old lame horse. The coincidence here with the ballad does not go very far, and may be an accident, but may be more than that.
