[1395]. ‘Cornipedi Fauno caesa de more capella’ (Fasti, 2. 361). Cp. 5. 101. So Plut. Rom. l. c.

[1396]. Livy, 1. 5. Unger (p. 71 foll.) has much to say about Inuus in the worst style of German pseudo-research. See Lex. s. v. (Steuding).

[1397]. Schwegler, i. 351 foll.; Justin, 43. 1. I had long ago arrived at this conclusion, and was glad to see it sanctioned by Wissowa in Lex. s. v. Lupercus.

[1398]. Aen. 8. 343: the only reason given is that the goat was Liber’s victim.

[1399]. Arnobius, 2. 23. See Mannhardt, 85; Huschke, Röm. Jahr, 12.

[1400]. Schwegler, i. 354 foll.: the general result is given in Lex. s. v. Evander, vol. 1. 1395. Evander himself = Faunus. It is possible that there may be some basis of truth in the Arcadian legend: we await further archaeological inquiry.

[1401]. See on [Dec. 5]; and Lex. s. v. Faunus, p. 1458.

[1402]. Serv. Aen. 2. 351. The whole passage is very interesting. See on Dec. 21; and Bouché-Leclercq, Pontifes, 28 and 49.

[1403]. Fasti, 2. 282; Marq. 443.

[1404]. Plut. Q. R. 111; Gell. 10. 15; Arnob. 7. 21.
