Tzetzes, _Antehomerica_, 102 _sq._: οἱ πρὶν γάρ τε Δίας πάντας κάλεον βασιλῆας, οὕνεκά μιν καλὸς Διὸς ἀστὴρ σκῆπτρον ὀπάζει. _id._, _Chiliades_, i. 474: τοὺς βασιλεῖς δ’ ἀνέκαθε Δίας ἐκάλουν πάντας. Footnote 570: Polybius, vi. 53 _sq._ Footnote 571: As to the situation, see Dionysius Halicarnasensis, _Ant. Rom._ i. 66; H. Nissen, _Italische Landeskunde_, ii. 582 _sq._ Footnote 572: Virgil, _Aen._ vi. 772. I have to thank Mr. A. B. Cook for directing my attention to the Alban kings and their interesting legends. See his articles “Zeus, Jupiter, and the Oak,” _Classical Review_, xviii. (1904) pp. 363 _sq._; “The European Sky-god,” _Folk-lore_, xvi.

As to the derivation of the name Julus, see Aurelius Victor, _op. cit._ 15, “_Igitur Latini Ascanium ob insignem virtutem non solum Jove ortum crediderunt, sed etiam per diminutionem, declinato paululum nomine, primo Jobum, dein postea Julum appellarant_”; also Steuding, in W. H. Roscher’s _Lexikon d. griech. u. röm. Mythologie_, ii. 574. Compare W. M. Lindsay, _The Latin Language_ (Oxford, 1894), p. 250. According to Diodorus, the priesthood bestowed on Julus was the pontificate; but the name Julus or Little Jupiter suggests that the office was rather that of Flamen Dialis, who was a sort of living embodiment of Jupiter (see below, pp. 191 _sq._), and whose name of _Dialis_ is derived from the same root as Julus. On the Julii and their relation to Vejovis see R. H. Klausen, _Aeneas und die Penaten_, ii. 1059 _sqq._ Footnote 574: See above, p. 1, and vol. i. p. 44. Footnote 575:
