[697] Duebner puts this sentence in brackets.
[698] Sophocles, "Antigone," 563, 564.
[699] Homer, "Iliad," xix. 138.
[700] Homer, "Odyssey," xx. 392.
[701] Or strigils.
[702] Anticyra was famous for its hellebore, which was
prescribed in cases of madness. See Horace, "Satires,"
ii. 3. 82, 83.
[703] Homer, "Iliad," xxiv. 239, 240.
[704] A philosopher of Megara, and disciple of Socrates.
Compare our author, "De Fraterno Amore," Sec. xviii.

"Oedipus Colonaeus," 481. See also our author's "De
Sanitate Praecepta," Sec. xix.
[710] Jeremy Taylor has closely imitated parts of this
Dialogue in his "Holy Living," chapter iv. sect. viii.,
"Twelve remedies against anger, by way of exercise,"

consideration." Such a storehouse did he make of the
"Moralia."
