It is impossible to reproduce in English the Greek’s hidden references to the names of Chariclea, Famed-for-her-Grace, and of Theagenes, the Goddess-Born. [109]Translated by the Rev.

[118]Arsace is not an historical character. “Le personnage féminin d’Arsacé semble bien être de l’invention d’Héliodore, mais il se peut qu’il se soit souvenu, en créant son nom, d’Arsacés, le fondateur de l’empire des Parthes, et des Arsacides, ainsi que d’Arsamés, grandpère de Darius (Hér. I, 209). D’après Suidas (s.d. Θεοκλυτήσαντες) Darius avait une fille nommée Arsamé.” R. M. Rattenbury, T. W. Lumb, J. Maillon, _op. cit._, II, 113, n. 1. [119]R. M. Rattenbury, T. W. Lumb, J.
