_Vide_ G. Ebers, _Kaiser Hadrian_: also _The Writing Material of Antiquity_, by Ebers, in the Cosmopolitan Magazine, New York, Nov. 1893; and especially Dziatzko (see above, p. 33). On the papyrus plant (Cyperus papyrus L., Papyrus Antiquorum Willd.), see Bernard de Montfaucon, _Dissertation sur la plante appelée Papyrus, sur le papier d’Égypte_, etc. Memoires de l’Académie Royale des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres, T. vi. Paris, 1729, 4to., pp. 592-608; Franz Woenig, _Die Pflanzen im alten Aegypten, ihre Heimat, Geschichte, Kultur_, Leipzig, 1886, pp. 74-129. J. Hoskyns-Abrahall pointed out that it is found in Europe, not only in the neighbourhood of Syracuse in Sicily, but also on the shores of Lake Trasimene: see _The Papyrus in Europe_, in the Academy, 19th Mar. 1887. Lagarde raised a question as to the etymology of the word papyrus (which has not yet been explained), whether it might not be derived from Bura on Lake Menzaleh, where it was first manufactured, _pa_ being the article in Egyptian; see his _Mitteilungen_, ii. 260. If this is so, there is the more reason for pronouncing the _y_ long, as ancient writers did, and not short as the modern fashion is—papýrus, not pápyrus. _Cf._ Juvenal, iv. 24; vii. 101; Mart. iii. 2; viii. 44; x. 97.

Footnote 43: _Cf._ the verses inscribed on a marble tablet discovered in Andros by Ross in 1844:— ἐγὼ χρυσόθρονος Ἶσις ... ἀφαλέων Ἔρμανος ἀπόκρυφα σύμβολα δέλτων εὑρόμενα γραφίδεσσιν ἅ τ’ ἔξυσε πᾶσι χαράξας φρικαλέον μύσταις ἱερὸν λόγον....
