Footnote 201: Poll. v. 95. ----- The names and figures of necklaces were scarcely less numerous.[202] A jewelled collar fitting tight to the throat formed, under the name of _Peritrachelion_, the principal of these ornaments, of which another was the _Perideraion_.[203] The _Hypoderaion_ was as its name imports a necklace that hung low on the bosom, and the same was the case with the _Hormos_.[204] On the _Tantheuristos Hormos_ little information can be obtained, for which reason the commentators would alter the text; but the most probable conjecture is, that it obtained its appellation from the flashing and glancing of the jewels depending from it upon the breast.[205] The _Triopis_ was a species of necklace distinguished for having three stars or eye-like gems depending from it as drops. This being the most fashionable necklace was known under a variety of names, as the _Kathema_, and _Katheter_, and _Mannos_ or _Monnos_, among the Dorians.[206] ----- Footnote 202: Odyss. σ. 290.

Some worn above the elbow were denominated _Brachionia_, others called _Pericarpia_, or _Echinoi_ encircled the wrists and were often in the form of twisted snakes of gold, which the woman-hater in Lucian would have converted into real serpents.[207] The _Psellia_ or chain bracelets were much worn; the _Clidones_ adorned the rich and luxurious only. As stockings were not in common use, and shoes and sandals frequently dispensed with when within doors, fashion required that the feet and ankles should not remain unadorned. Ancient writers, accordingly, enumerate several kinds of anklets, or bangles, all of gold, and varying only in form, the distinction between which I have been unable to discover. The _Ægle,_ the _Pede_ and the _Periscelides_ were so many ornaments for the instep or ankle.[208] ----- Footnote 207: Amor. § 41. Footnote 208: Poll. v. 100. Golden periscelides are enumerated by Longus l. i. among the possessions of the young Lesbian girl; and Horace, Epist. i. xvii. 56, speaks of the periscelis being snatched away from a courtezan. Here Dr. Bentley understands the word to mean _tibialia_, and observes,—“delicatulæ fasciolis involvebant sibi crura et femora.” But Gesner ad Horat. p. 503, seq. rather supposes “compedes mulierum,” to be intended, and he is probably right.
