[226] Philostr. _Vit. Soph._ II. 5. 4 τὸ ἐν τῷ Κεραμεικῷ θέατρον ὃ δὴ
ἐπωνόμασται Ἀγριππεῖον. For the whole question of the Odeion which,
save for its possible identity in site with the old orchestra, does not
concern us, see Dr Dörpfeld, ‘Die verschiedenen Odeien in Athen,’ _A.
Mitt._ XVII. 1892, p. 352.

Anthesteria.
[228] Dr Verrall, _J. H. S._ XX. 115.
[229] _Journal of Hellenic Studies_ XXIV. p. xxxix. 1904.
[230] It seems to me possible that the transition may have been helped as
regards the word Lenaion by the fact that the Greek ληνός means _coffin_
as well as _wine-press_. The ληνός like the πίθος could be used for
purposes widely diverse.

[235] Koerte, _op. cit._ p. 299 ... δεδόχθαι τοῖς ὀργεῶσι ἐπειδή εἶσιν

[246] The facsimile is from Δελτίον 1889, p. 127. The inscription reads
as follows:
...]δωρος μ’ ἀνέθηκ’ Ἀφροδίτην δῶρον ἀπαρχήν.
Πότνια τῶν ἀγαθῶν τῶ[ι] σὺ δὸς ἀφθον[ί]αν.
οἵ τε λέγ[ου]σι λόγους ἀδίκως ψευδᾶς κ...εκ....
It is discussed with the two that follow by Mr Foucart, _Bull. de Corr.
Hell._ 1889, p. 157.
[247]
Τόνδε σοὶ, ὦ μεγάλη σεμνὴ Πάνδημε Ἀφρ[οδίτη]
[κοσ]μοῦμεν δώροις εἰκόσιν ἡμετέραις
Ἀρχῖνος Ἀλυπήτου Σκαμβωνίδης, Μενεκράτεια Δεξικράτους
Ἰκαριέως θυγάτηρ, ἱέρεια τῆς [Ἀφροδίτης], ...
...Δ]εξικράτους Ἰκαριέως θυγάτηρ, Ἀρχίνου δὲ μήτηρ.
For discussion of this inscription and the nature of the building
dedicated, see Dr Kawerau, ‘Die Pandemos-Weihung auf der Akropolis’ (_A.
Mitt._ 1905), which through his kindness reached me after the above was
written.
