VI. ch. 30., Rhinocolura vero illo tempore _viris piis_ non aliunde advocatis, sed _indigenis_ floruit, quorum optimos sapientiae sese studio hic dedisse intellexi. Novi Melanam, tunc ecclesiae episcopum et Dionysium, monasterium ad septentrionem urbis moderantem, ac Solonem, Melanis fratrem ac successorem in episcopatu. (But Rhinocolura at that time abounded in _men of piety_, not invited thither, but _natives_, the most eminent of whom I have been informed devoted themselves in that place to the study of Wisdom. I knew personally Melanas, then Bishop of the church there, and Dionysius, governing a monastery lying to the South of the City, and Solon, brother of Melanas and his successor in the Bishopric.). The same is affirmed by _Nicephorus_ as well, (Hist. Eccles. bk. XI. ch. 38.). Within the last two years there has appeared a Tract or Occasional Paper, dealing with the Colony at Rhinocolura, but unfortunately we cannot put our hand on the more precise memorandum of its contents. [33] As to his views on the _Morbus Phoeniceus_ (Phoenician Disease), this will be discussed under the head of the vice of the _Cunnilingue_. [34] _Bonorden_, “Die Syphilis” (Syphilis). Berlin 1834., p. 19. [35] _Clossius_, “Ueber die Lustseuche” (On Venereal Disease). Tübingen 1797., p. 49.—_Perenotti di Cigliano_, Of Venereal Disease, p. 92. _Fabre_, Treatise on Venereal Disease, p. 5. [36] Martial, XI. Epigr. 30., Os male causidicis et dicis olere poetis: Sed fellatori, Zoile, peius olet. (The mouth you say smells ill with pleaders and poets; but Zoilus, it smells worse with the _fellator_). Hence the expressions, _os male olens_, _anima foetida_, _gravis_, _graveolens_, _graveolentia oris spiritus ieiunio macer_, _ieiuna anima_, _hircosum osculum_, _basia olidissima_. (evil-smelling mouth, fetid breath, foul, ill-smelling, fetid smell of the breath from the mouth—hungry and lean, fasting breath, goaty kiss, most smelly embraces). Possibly too this was the origin of the Lemnian women’s punishment. Comp. above p. 148. [37] _Galen_, Comment. on Hippocrates’ De Humor. bk. II., edit. Kühn, Vol. XVI. p. 215. Different means of counteracting this evil are given by _Galen_, De parabilib. bk. II. ch. 7., Vol. XIV. p. 424. of Kühn’s ed., where amongst other matter we read: διαμασῶνται δέ τινες καὶ τῆς πίτυος φύλλα, ὅταν ἐκπορεύωνται, _καὶ ὕδατι διακλύζονται_, (but others chew up even leaves of the pine, when they go abroad, and _wash out the mouth with water_), the Latin _lavare_, _aquam sumere_ (to wash, to take water)?—as to which later. [38] _Martial_, VI. 55., Quod semper cassiaque cinnamoque Et nido niger alitis superbae Fragras plumbea Nicerotiana, Rides nos, Coracine, nil olentes, Malo, quam bene olere, nil olere.
