[Footnote 5: The περισκέλις (in Latin, Periscelis--see Hor. Epist. 1. xvii. 56,) was an anklet or bangle, commonly worn not only by the Orientals, the Egyptians, and the Greeks, but by the Roman ladies also. It is frequently represented in the paintings of Greek figures on the walls of Pompeii.--Dict. of Greek and Rom. Antiq.] [Footnote 6: See Theoc. Idyl. 1. 52.-- "Αὐτὰρ ὃy' ανθερίκίσσι καλάν πλέκει ἀκριδοθήκαv." ] [Footnote 7: σπουδὴν ἀνέπλaσε.] [Footnote 8: ἐδίωκε τὸν διῶκοντα.] [Footnote 9: ταινιάν--either a head-band or breast-band.] [Footnote 10: What now follows, as far as the soliloquy on Chloe's kiss, is a translation of the fragment discovered by M. Courier, in the Laurentian Library at Florence, in 1809, which supplies the hiatus deflendus which till then interrupted the narrative.] [Footnote 11: ----"οῖστροπληξ δ' ἐγὼ μάστιγι θείᾳ γῆν πρὸ γῆς ελαύνομαι." Æsch. P. V. 681. See also Virg. G. iii. 145-151. ] [Footnote 12: So, Theocritus--"Σύριγγ' ἔχω εννεάφωνον." Idyl. viii. 21. The shepherd's pipe was in general composed of seven unequal reeds compacted with wax, and consequently was only seven-toned. "Est mihi disparibus _septem_ compacta cicutis Fistula."--Virg. Ec. ii. 36. ] [Footnote 13: "Parta meæ Veneri sunt præmia; namque notavi, Ipse locum aëriæ quo congessere palumbes." Virg. Ec.

In after times it took the name of the Florentine kiss. "Warton quotes an old gentleman, who says, that when disposed to kiss his wife with unusual tenderness, he always gave her the Florentine kiss.--Chapman's Theocritus."
