O. Gilbert, ii. 154: adopted by Aust, 658, who adds some slight additional evidence: e. g. the ‘Iovem aquam exorabant’ of the passage from Petronius. Footnote 1011: Tylor, _Prim. Cult._ ii. 235-7: for the Greek Zeus, Farnell, _Cults_, i. 44 foll. Footnote 1012: Preller, i. 190. I cannot say that I find evidence earlier than the passage of Tibullus, 1. 7. 26 (Jupiter Pluvius). Footnote 1013: Note that the Flamen Dialis is not mentioned along with the Pontifices by Servius, l.c. Footnote 1014: See on May 15. Footnote 1015: _Golden Bough_, i. 11 foll.; Grimm, _Teutonic Mythology_, 595 foll.; abundant examples in the works of Mannhardt, see indices. Footnote 1016: From _Samoa_, by G. Turner, p. 145. Footnote 1017: Compare together Nonius, 547. 10; 559. 19 (s. v. trulleum), from Varro; Festus, 128, s. v. ‘manalis lapis,’ from Verrius Flaccus. The suggestion that the stone was hollow is O. Gilbert’s. Footnote 1018: Aust, _Lex._ 657, who believes the Romans to have been mistaken. The _locus classicus_ is Ovid, _Fasti_, 3. 285 foll.; a more rational account in Liv. 1. 20; Plin. _N. H._ 2. 140. Note the position of the altar of this Jupiter, i. e. the Aventine. Footnote 1019: _Germania_, 9. Footnote 1020: 7. 3. Footnote 1021: Festus, 55. Footnote 1022: In _Röm. Chronologie_, p. 175 foll. Preller (i. 258) had already seen that the ceremony was a religious one, but believed it to be annual, and used for the reckoning of time. Footnote 1023: ‘An sich hat der Nagel gewiss mit dem Jahre nichts zu thun, sondern steht in seiner natürlichen und wohlbekannten Bedeutung der Schicksalsfestung, in welcher er als Attribut der grausen Nothwendigkeit (saeva Necessitas), der Fortuna, der Atropos bei römischen Schriftstellern und auf italischen Bildwerken begegnet.’ Mommsen, op. cit. 179. He alludes, of course, to Horace, _Od._ 1. 35, and 3. 24, and to the Etruscan mirror mentioned by Preller (p. 259): see Gerhard, _Etr. Spiegel_, i. 176. But the interpretation of this mirror, as given by Preller, seems to me very doubtful. MENSIS OCTOBER.
