[407] So I translate χελιδόνιον on the authority of a muleteer whom I
hired at Olympia; the modern form is χελιδόνι. It may be added that in
Greece the cuckoo-flower is often of a dark enough shade to justify the
epithet κυάνεον.

In the copy formerly belonging to the historian Finlay and now in the
possession of the British School of Archaeology at Athens is found a
note by Finlay as follows:--‘Joh. Wilh. Zinkeisen in Geschichte des
osmanischen Reiches in Europa (Gotha, 1854), vol. ii. p. 90, note 2,
mentions a second printed copy as existing in the Mazarine Library at
Paris, and a manuscript copy in possession of Justiniani family at
Genoa. The date according to Zinkeisen should be not MDVI but MDCVI.’
There is no designation of the press or place from which the volume
issued.
