SOME OF GERCKE’S READINGS

  I.  p. 5, §7, the Strymon.            the Danube and the Balkans.

         8,  1, the explanation ...     my opinion.
                 Philosophy.

         9,  2, such as ... answer      which each knows the other
                 me.                      cannot answer.

        20, 10, an oar ... water.       an oar is covered with
                                          shallow water and presents
                                          a broken appearance.

        37,  1, _Bothynae_ (cave-       _putei_ (well-like...).
                 like...).

        40,  3, one has seen ...        what is struck by them we
                 (= star-struck).         call smitten with a flash,
                                          that is, struck without
                                          lightning-bolt, what the
                                          Greeks call ἀστερόπληκτα
                                          (= star-struck).

        40,  4, of which more anon.     of which we have spoken.

        41,  7, For we judge ...        But we judge that it is the
                 foreign body.            deceptive appearance of
                                          a mirror, which merely
                                          gives a counterfeit repre-
                                          sentation of a foreign
                                          body.
