2 The site was excavated in 1885 by Sir John Savile Lumley, English ambassador at Rome. For a general description of the site and excavations, see the _Athenaeum_, 10th October 1885. For details of the finds see _Bulletino dell’ Instituto di Corrispondenza Archeologica_, 1885, pp. 149 _sqq._, 225 _sqq._ 3 Ovid, _Fasti_, vi. 756; Cato quoted by Priscian, see Peter’s _Historic. Roman. Fragmenta_, p. 52 (lat. ed.); Statius, _Sylv._ iii. 1, 56. 4 ξιφήρης οὖν ἐστιν ἀεί, περισκοπῶν τὰς ἐπιθέσεις, ἕτοιμος ἀμύνεσθαι, is Strabo’s description (v. 3, 12), who may have seen him “pacing there alone.” 5 Virgil, _Aen._ vi. 136 _sqq._; Servius, _ad l._; Strabo, v. 3, 12; Pausanias, ii. 27; Solinus, ii. 11; Suetonius, _Caligula_, 35. For the title “King of the Wood,” see Suetonius, _l.c._; and compare Statius, _Sylv._ iii. 1, 55 _sq._— “_Jamque dies aderat, profugis cum regibus aptum_ _ Fumat Aricinum Triviae nemus;_” Ovid, _Fasti_, iii. 271, “_Regna tenent fortesque manu, pedibusque fugaces_;” _id. Ars am._ i. 259 _sq._— “_Ecce suburbanae templum nemorale Dianae,_ _ Partaque per gladios regna nocente manu._” _ 6 Bulletino dell’ Instituto_, 1885, p. 153 _sq._; _Athenaeum_, 10th October 1885; Preller, _Römische Mythologie_,3 i. 317. Of these votive offerings some represent women with children in their arms; one represents a delivery, etc. 7 Statius, _Sylv._ iii. 1, 52 _sqq._ From Martial, xii. 67, it has been inferred that the Arician festival fell on the 13th of August. The inference, however, does not seem conclusive. Statius’s expression is:— “_Tempus erat, caeli cum ardentissimus axis_ _ Incumbit terris, ictusque Hyperione multo_ _ Acer anhelantes incendit Sirius agros._” 8 Ovid, _Fasti_, iii. 269; Propertius, iii. 24 (30), 9 _sq._ ed. Paley. _ 9 Inscript. Lat._ ed. Orelli, No. 1455. 10 Statius, _l.c._; Gratius Faliscus, v. 483 sqq. _ 11 Athenaeum_, 10th October 1885. The water was diverted a few years ago to supply Albano. For Egeria, compare Strabo, v. 3, 12; Ovid, _Fasti_, iii. 273 _sqq._; _id. Met._ xv. 487 _sqq._ 12 Festus, p. 145, ed. Müller; Schol. on Persius, vi. 56 _ap._ Jahn on Macrobius, i. 7, 35. 13 Virgil, _Aen._ vii. 761 _sqq._; Servius, _ad l._; Ovid, _Fasti_, iii. 265 _sq._; _id. Met._ xv. 497 _sqq._; Pausanias, ii. 27. 14 Servius on Virgil, _Aen._ vii. 776. _ 15 Inscript. Lat._ ed. Orelli, Nos. 2212, 4022. The inscription No. 1457 (Orelli) is said to be spurious. 16 See above, p. 4, note 1. 17 Marquardt, _Römische Staatsverwaltung_, iii.2 321 _sqq._ 18 G.
