[750]. Liv. 25. 12.

[751]. The MSS. of Livy (27. 23) have a.d. iii Nonas, no doubt in error for a.d iii Idus. Merkel, Praef. xxviii.; Mommsen, C. I. L. 321.

[752]. Liv. 25. 12; 26. 33; Festus, 326; Cie. Brutus, 20, 78, whence it appears that Ennius produced his Thyestes at these ludi. Cp. the story in Macrob. 1. 17. 25.

[753]. Liv. 27. 23.

[754]. Liv. 3. 63. This older shrine Livy calls Apollinar. The temple that followed it was the only Apollo-temple in Rome till Augustus built one on the Palatine after Actium; this is clear from Asconius, p. 81 (ad Cic. in toga candida), quoted by Aust, de Aedibus sacris, 7. It was outside the Porta Carmentalis, near the Circus Flaminius. A still more ancient Apollinar is assumed by some to have existed on the Quirinal; but it rests on an uncertain emendation of O. Müller in Varro, L. L. 5. 52.

[755]. Liv. 40. 51. The Romans seem originally to have called the god Apello, and connected the name with pellere. Paulus, 22; Macrob. 1. 17. 15.

[757]. Lex. s. v. Apollo, 446.
