[60] i. 56. [61] i. 5, iii. 94. [62] “Ampracia is the more ancient orthography, and not Ambracia.” [63] “_Landrecht_, as it was called in the middle ages; _Burgrecht_ is something different, referring to the individual who has the right of becoming a citizen of a place.” [64] “It would be an excellent subject for an essay to collect the differences in the names of nations and places among the Greeks and Romans; it would be very important in the critical treatment of ancient authors, as the old Latin forms have often been misunderstood.” [65] “MSS. and editions of Latin poets frequently have _Haemonia_, but I cannot venture to decide as to whether it is right or wrong. The Greeks have generally Αἰμονία, and rarely Αἱμονία; in like manner Αἶμος is more common than Αἷμος, and it is doubtful whether the former is not a change made by editors.” [66] Dionys. Hal. _Ant._ i. 28, calls him a great great-grand-son. [67] In some MSS. the following words are here added: “Such also was the case in the Netherlands, in the official language of the fifteenth century.” It is possible that Niebuhr may have alluded to the _Geuses_.—ED. [68] “We ought to say _the_ Tempe as a plural, for the Greek is τὰ Τέμπη, and signifies a glen or a pass.” [69] In one MS., which however is interpolated in some parts, we find the following statement: “Dositheus Magister, the most ancient Latin grammarian, whose works we possess complete (?), imitated Dionysius Thrax.”—ED. [70] “Whether Dryopians and Dolopians be the same name cannot be proved, although it is possible. I do not like the attempts to prove such things; people easily believe that they arrive at positive results, and accustom themselves to play with names. This is unfortunately the case in Germany so much, that we cannot be sufficiently on our guard against it. It is quite a different thing to examine what was the generic name of a great nation.” [71] xix. 175. [72] See above, p. 33. [73] v. 3, § 6. [74] In one MS. I find “On the slip of land extending into the sea opposite Chios”; one main part of the town was afterwards in the island.—ED. [75] Comp. _Lect. on Rom. Hist._, vol. i. p. 70, fol. 3rd edit. [76] Μάκαρος ἕδος Αἰολίωνος, _Hymn in Apoll._ 37. [77] “Athens too is written with ε on the drachmae of later times (ΑΘΕ).” The connexion between this remark and the statement in the text is not clear.—ED. [78] “During the Macedonian period and afterwards this name certainly was never pronounced otherwise than Cassándrea.”
