Mus._ LI. p. 134) to the analogous case of Torone, which Thucydides (IV. 110) describes thus: οὔσης τῆς πόλεως πρὸς λόφον—‘was nach dem Zusammenhang nicht _nach dem Hügel hin_ sondern nur _an dem Hügel hinauf_ bedeutet.’ But it must carefully be noted that as Dr Verrall (_Class. Rev._ 1900, p. 278) observes, the notion of _ascent_ is given not by πρός but by λόφον. The analogy is one of fact, not of the verbal description of that fact. [149] Paus. I. 3. 4.

I. 29. 1. [157] _loc. cit. supra._ Between the words νομίζουσι and ὡς πεμφθείη we must mentally supply ἐνταῦθα καὶ τοῦ Πανὸς ἱερόν, φασὶ δὲ, or words to that effect.

There is no mention of Delphi, and the word ἰσομέτρητον does not occur, but in Plato’s reference (_Phaedr._ 235 D) it is distinctly stated both occur, καί σοι ἐγὼ ὥσπερ οἱ ἐννέα ἄρχοντες, ὑπισχνοῦμαι χρυσὴν εἰκόνα ἰσομέτρητον εἰς Δελφοὺς ἀναθήσειν.
