[1030]. Many passages might be collected to bear out Dionysius’ remarks: the reader may refer to Preller, i. 250 foll.
[1031]. Pliny, N. H. xi. 250. So ‘dextram fidemque dare.’
[1032]. Wissowa, in Lex. s. v. Fides, Preller. i. 251. Serv. Aen. 1. 292 and 8. 636: but Serv. in the latter note says ‘Quia fides tecta esse debet et velata.’
[1033]. Libanius, Decl. 19; Photius, s. v. κροκοῦν (Bötticher, Baumkultus, p. 43) οἱ μύσται ὡς φασὶ κρόκῃ τὴν δεξιὰν χεῖρα καὶ τὸν πόδα ἀναδοῦνται.
[1034]. Hor. Od. 1. 35. 21.
[1035]. The authorities for this and the altars connected with it are Livy, 1. 26; Dion. Hal. 3. 22; Festus, 297 and Paul. 307; Aur. Vict. 4. 9; Schol. Bob. ad Cic. p. 277 Orelli; Lydus de Mensibus, 4. 1.
[1036]. Kiepert u. Huelsen, Formae urbis Romae antiquae, p. 92 and map 1; Jordan, Topogr. ii. 100.
[1037]. So Roscher, in Lex. s. v. Ianus, 21; Gilbert, Topogr. 1. 180, who would make it the ‘porta Ianualis’ of Macrob. 1. 19. 17, wrongly.
[1038]. It is always in the singular, e. g. ‘Transmisso per viam tigillo,’ Livy, l. c. Dionys. writes as if it were originally a iugum, i. e. two uprights and a cross-beam, but does not imply that it was so in his day.
[1039]. The altars are mentioned by Festus, Dionys, and Schol. Bob.
