Additions And Corrections.
Vol. I.
P. 19. l. 18. In the explanation of Melia, the ash has been confounded with the alder. It seems that the ash, which probably reached a greater height than any other tree in Greece, is used in this genealogy, as in Hesiod Theog. 187, for the force of vegetation generally.
P. 80. l. 11. It may be objected that the countries in which commerce and manufactures have flourished most, have not possessed mines of the precious metals. This remark is true of modern Europe; but in Greece the copper of Chalcis appears to be connected with the Chalcidean trade and colonies, and the gold of Thasos with the maritime pursuits of the Thasians and their large navy before the time of Cimon. The silver of Laurion likewise contributed to the industry and foreign commerce of Attica. The prosperity of the maritime cities of Asia Minor was at least assisted by the gold mines in Lydia; as may be seen in the very ancient golden staters (partly made of electron, which according to Soph. Ant. 1025 came from Sardis) of Phocæa, Lampsacus, Clazomenæ, &c.
P. 82. l. 2. It now appears to me that Leake, Morea, vol. III. ch. 30. is right in considering the Contoporia as a footpath over the hills, which required the use of long sticks or poles. The road in the valley between the rocks bore the name of Tretos.
P. 127. l. 25. for all its colonies read all its early colonies.
P. 209. notes, col. 2. l. 10. for Platæon read Platæan.
P. 212. notes, col. 2. l. 10. for εἰρένης, read εἰρήνης.
