[832]. The day of the festival at Aricia is thought to have been also Aug. 13 (Lex. s. v. Diana, 1006).

[833]. Beloch, Italischer Bund, 180; Cato (ap. Priscian, 7. 337, ed. Jordan, p. 41) gives the names of the towns united in and by the Arician cult—Aricia, Tusculum, Lanuvium, Laurentum, Cora, Tibur, Pometia, Ardea.

[834]. Liv. I. 45 Dionys. 4. 26; Varro, L. L. 5. 43.

[835]. Dionys. l. c. See Jordan, Krit. Beiträge, 253.

[836]. So Liv. l. c.: other temples of Diana had deers’ horns, according to Plutarch, Q. R. 4. The cow was Diana’s favourite victim (Marq. 361); but we cannot be sure that this was not a feature borrowed from the cult of Artemis (Farnell, Greek Cults, ii. 592).

[837]. The passages from Livy quoted by Steuding (Lex. 1008) are hardly to the point, as the cult is not mentioned in them.

[838]. Plut. Q. R. 100.
