[1119]. Probus on Virg. Georg. 1. 10 ‘In Italia quidam annuum sacrum, quidam menstruum celebrant.’
[1120]. The word is ‘odore,’ i.e. sweet herbs of the garden (Marq. 169 and note).

[1123]. The earliest hint of the connexion of Faunus with Evander and the Palatine legend is found in a fragment of Cincius Alimentus, who wrote at this time (H. Peter, Fragm. Hist. Lat. 41, from Servius, Georg. 1. 10).
[1124]. Dion. Hal. 1. 31; Suet. Vitell. 1. Cp. for a more truly Italian view, Virgil, Aen. 8. 314 foll.
[1125]. Aen. 7. 45 foll. The order was Saturnus, Picus, Faunus, Latinus.
[1126]. Wissowa in Lex. s. v. Faunus, 1458: who, however, does not sufficiently explain the contrast. Silvanus became tutor finium, and cusios hortuli (cp. Gromatici Veteres. p. 302). It was probably this turn given to his cult which saved him from the fate of Faunus. He takes over definite duties to the cultivator, while Faunus is still roaming the country in a wild state.
