Footnote 737: Tertullian, _de Spect._ 5. Footnote 738: See below, p. 208. Footnote 739: This point—the union of free- and bond-women in the sacrifice—seems to prove that Nonae Caprotinae and ancillarum feriae were only two names for the same thing. Macrobius connects the legend of the latter with the rite of the former (i. II. 36). Footnote 740: Plut. _Rom._ 29. Varro, _L. L._ 6. 18 writes ‘in Latio.’ Footnote 741: Deecke, _Die Falisker_, 89; Roscher, in _Lex._ s. v. Juno, p. 599. Footnote 742: See above, p. 143. Footnote 743: One naturally compares the ficus Ruminalis and the foundation-legend of Rome. Footnote 744: It is curious that the practice in husbandry called _caprificatio_, or the introduction of branches of the wild tree among those of the cultivated fig to make it ripen (Plin. _N. H._ 15. 79; Colum. II. 2) took place in July; and it strikes me as just possible that there may have been a connexion between it and the Nonae Caprotinae. Footnote 745: Mannhardt, _Myth. Forsch._ l. c. Footnote 746: Macrob. 3. 2. 11 and 14. Macrobius also quotes Varro in the 15th book of his _Res Divinae_ ‘Quod pontifex in sacris quibusdam vitulari soleat, quod Graeci παιανίζειν vocant.’ Perhaps we may compare _visceratio_: Serv. Aen. 5. 215. Footnote 747: Above, p. 176. Footnote 748: Marq. 170. Footnote 749: See Marq. 384, and _Lex._ s. v. Apollo 447. Footnote 750: Liv. 25. 12. Footnote 751: The MSS. of Livy (27. 23) have a.d. iii _Nonas_, no doubt in error for a.d iii Idus. Merkel, _Praef._ xxviii.; Mommsen, _C. I. L._ 321. Footnote 752: Liv. 25. 12; 26. 33; Festus, 326; Cie. _Brutus_, 20, 78, whence it appears that Ennius produced his _Thyestes_ at these _ludi_. Cp. the story in Macrob. 1. 17. 25. Footnote 753: Liv. 27. 23. Footnote 754: Liv. 3. 63. This older shrine Livy calls Apollinar. The temple that followed it was the only Apollo-temple in Rome till Augustus built one on the Palatine after Actium; this is clear from Asconius, p. 81 (ad Cic. in toga candida), quoted by Aust, _de Aedibus sacris_, 7. It was outside the Porta Carmentalis, near the Circus Flaminius. A still more ancient Apollinar is assumed by some to have existed on the Quirinal; but it rests on an uncertain emendation of O. Müller in Varro, _L. L._ 5. 52. Footnote 755: Liv. 40. 51. The Romans seem originally to have called the god _Apello_, and connected the name with _pellere_. Paulus, 22; Macrob. 1. 17. 15. Footnote 756: Liv. 5. 13. Footnote 757: _Lex._ s. v. Apollo, 446. Footnote 758: Müller-Deecke, _Etrusker_, ii. 69. Footnote 759: Strabo, p. 214; Herodotus, 1.167. Footnote 760: Jordan on Preller, i. 265. Footnote 761: _Aen._ 11. 785 ‘Summe deum, sancti custos Soractis Apollo,’ &c. Footnote 762:
