Transcribers' Notes:
Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a
predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not
changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced
quotation marks retained.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.
Inconsistent use of small-caps for the abbreviation "Fig." has been
retained.
Many quotations are from older sources that used archaic spelling.
Words not in Modern English have not been checked for spelling.
Index not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references.
Illustrations ("Figures") are presented here in the
irregularly-numbered sequence in which they appeared in the original
book.
Greek words are shown in Greek and then in English transliterations
that are indicated by [Greek: ] and were added by the Transcribers.
Superscripts are represented by ^{me} and ^{e}.
Text uses both "Archæologia" and "Archaeologia"; both retained.
Missing or incorrect accent marks in German words have not been changed.
Page 67: the Greek word transliterated as "taurokathapsia" was
misprinted in the original book and has been changed here.
Page 68: Tildes (~) above "Ã" and "Ñ" represent macrons (¯); colons in
the inscription represent tricolons.
Page 78: "Ackermann's" has been corrected in accordance with the _Erratum_ on
page xviii.
Page 96: Tilde (~) above "õ" represents a macron (¯).
Page 132: "Beginning it self" was printed that way, with the extra
space.
Index, page 245: "House of the Labyrinth" referenced non-existent page
"456", which was changed here to page "45".
Index, page 247: "Metaphor" references non-existent page "282".
