[191] Paus. I. 20. 3. See Mr Mitchell Carroll in the Classical Review (July 1905, p. 325), ‘Thucydides, Pausanias and the Dionysium in Limnis,’ but Mr Carroll makes the to my mind fatal mistake of examining the Limnae question apart from the other sanctuaries.
[192] See Dr Verrall (Class. Rev. XIV. 1900, p. 278), who cites Burnham Beeches which has nothing to do with any beech and Sandiacre which has nothing to do with sand, and, as Mr Carroll observes, ‘Rhode Island’ is not an island nor is Washington a Washing-Town.
[193] Such sources as are necessary for my argument will be given as required, but the whole material for the study of the Attic festivals of Dionysos has been collected by Dr Martin P. N. Nilsson in his Studia de Dionysiis Atticis, Lund, 1900.
[194] For the ceremonies see my Prolegomena, p. 40.
