Varro. _L. L._ 7. 45. A god Pomonus (gen. Puemones) occurs in the Iguvian ritual (Bücheler, _Umbrica_, 158); who may have been identical with Vortumnus. Footnote 854: Varro, _L. L._ 5. 46. Footnote 855: Preller, i. 452, and Jordan’s note. Footnote 856: Festus, 217, s. v. persillum. All we know of his duties is that he ‘unguit arma Quirini’; the word for the oil or grease he used was ‘persillum.’ Quirinus had his own flamen, who might be supposed to do this office for him; hence Marq. (328 note) inferred that the god in this case was a form of Janus, Janus Quirinus. But there is no other sound evidence for a Janus Quirinus, though Janus and Portunus may be closely connected. Footnote 857: _L. L._ 6. 19. Footnote 858: _C. I. L._ 325. He thinks that the _atria Tiberina_ mentioned by Ovid (_Fasti_, 4. 329) were a station on the route of the procession. Footnote 859: Mommsen has not convinced other scholars, e. g. Jordan on Preller, ii. 133, and Marq. 328, who points out that if Volturnus is an old name for the Tiber, that river-god was already provided with a flamen (Volturnalis), and a festival in this month (see below on Volturnalia). I am disposed to think that Mommsen’s critics have the best of the argument. Footnote 860: On _Aen._ 5. 241. Footnote 861: _Röm. Jahr_, p. 250. Jordan restored the passage thus: ‘Quo apud veteres aedes in portu et feriae institutae’ (Preller, i. 178 note). Footnote 862: See Marquardt, _Privatalterthümer_, p. 226. Footnote 863: Paulus, 56. Footnote 864: In Festus, 233, _portus_ is said to have been used for a house in the Twelve Tables. Footnote 865: _Topogr._ i. 430; Marq. agrees (327 note). Footnote 866: Preller, i. 177. Footnote 867: It was a late foundation, vowed by C. Duilius in the First Punic War (B.C. 260). When rebuilt by Tiberius (Tac. _Ann._ 2. 49) the dedication-day became Oct. 18. See Aust, _de Aedibus sacris_, p. 18. Footnote 868: See above on April 23, p. 85. Footnote 869: Livy, 10. 31; Aust, _de Aedibus sacris_, p. 12. Footnote 870: See above, p. 86. Footnote 871: Paulus, 264. Footnote 872: Preller, i. 196; Marq. 333 note. Footnote 873: Varro, _L. L._ 6. 16 ‘Vinalia a vino; Hic dies Iovis, non Veneris; huius rei cura non levis in Latio; nam aliquot locis vindemiae primum a sacerdotibus publicae fiebant, ut Romae etiam nunc; nam flamen Dialis auspicatur vindemiam, et ut iussit vinum legere, agna Iovi facit, inter quoius exta caesa et porrecta flamen primus vinum legit.’ But this note, coming between others on the Cerialia and Robigalia, clearly refers to April 23, and the latter part of it must be taken as simply explaining ‘huius rei cura non levis’ without reference to a particular day. Footnote 874: See above, p. 110. Footnote 875: p. 264. Footnote 876:
