T. viii. p. 329: [Greek: metaballei de ho chamaileon eis panta ta chromata; plen ten eis to leukon kai to eruthron ou dechetai metabolen.] Similiter Plinius 'Hist.

Menander apud Stob. p. 437: [Greek: Ta deuter aiei ten gynaika dei legein, Ten d' egemonian ton olon ton andr' echein]. [385] As Lord Stowell used to say that "dinners lubricated business." [386] Homer, "Iliad," xi. 643. [387] Homer, "Odyssey," iv. 178, 179. [388] Perhaps the poley-germander. See Pliny, "Nat. Hist," xxi. 84. The line is from Nicander Theriac. 64. [389] "Iliad," viii. 281, 282. [390] "Iliad," x. 243. [391] "Iliad," vii. 109, 110. [392] Xenophon, "Agesilaus," xi. 5. p. 673 C. [393] To filch the grain from the bin or granary would not of course be so important a theft as to steal the seed-stock preserved for sowing. So probably Cato, "De Re Rustica," v. Sec. iv.: "Segetem ne defrudet," sc. villicus. [394] Thucydides, iii. 82. [395] Plato, "Republic," v. p. 474 E. Compare also Lucretius, iv. 1160-1170; Horace, "Satires," i. 3. 38 sq. [396] This Ptolemy was a votary of Cybele, and a spiritual ancestor of General Booth. The worship of Cybele is well described by Lucretius, ii. 598-643. [397] This was Ptolemy Auletes, as the former was Ptolemy Philopator. [398] See Suetonius, "Nero," ch. 21. [399] "Plerumque _minuta voce cantillare_."--_Wyttenbach._ What Milton would have called "a lean and flashy song." [400] Naso suspendit adunco, as Horace, "Sat." i. 6. 5. [401] See Athenaeus, p. 434 C. [402] As Gnatho in Terence, "Eunuch." 496-498. [403] Reading [Greek: Helon], as Courier, Hercher. [404] "Iliad," x. 249. They are words of Odysseus. [405] This was carrying flattery rather far. "Mithridatis medicinae scientia multis memorata veterum."--_Wyttenbach._ [406] Euripides, "Alcestis," 1159. [407] Our author gives this definition to Simonides, "De Gloria Atheniensium," Sec. iii. [408] So our author again, "On Contentedness of Mind," Sec. xii. [409] See Herodotus, i. 30, 33; Juvenal, x. 274, 275; and Pausanias, ii. 20. [410] "Nobile Stoae Paradoxum. Cicero Fin. iii. 22, ex persona Catonis. Horatius ridet Epistol. i. 1. 106-108. Ad summam sapiens uno minor est Jove: dives, Liber, honoratus, pulcher, rex denique regum; Praecipue sanus, nisi quum pituita molesta est."--_Wyttenbach._ [411] See also "On Contentedness of Mind," Sec. xii. [412] Homer, "Iliad," xvi. 141. See the context also from 130 sq.
