Lycian Inscriptions (Vol. iv., p. 383.).
—As to the double language in Homer of the gods and men, Heyne and others have thought (ad Il. Α. 403.) that the one was the old language, the other the modern. See Clarke ib., who thinks one was the learned name, the other the vulgar: but gives a scholion of the former opinion. The passages are as follow:
Il. Α 403.
Gods. Briareus
Men. Ægæon.
Il. Β 813.
Gods. Tomb of Myrine
Men. Batiea.
Il. Ξ 291.
Gods. Chalcis
