[53] Odyssey iv. 86.
[54] Homer says,
——τῇ πλεῖστα φέρει ζείδωρος ἄρουρα
Φάρμακα.
Odyssey iv. 229.
Which Cowper properly renders:—
“Egypt teems
with drugs of various powers.”
Strabo, by omitting the word φάρμακα from his citation, alters to a certain degree the meaning of the sentence.
[55] Iliad ix. 383, et seq.
