_Georg._ 1. 10. The introduction of the Greek Dryads may be thought to throw suspicion upon the Latinity of these Fauni of Virgil. But in _Aen._ 8. 314, the similar conjunction of Fauni and Nymphae is followed by words which seem to mark a true Italian conception. Footnote 1135: _Lex._ s. v. Faunus, 1454. Footnote 1136: _Aen._ 8. 314. Footnote 1137: Cp. Ovid, _Fasti_, 3. 315 ‘Di sumus agrestes et qui dominemur in altis Montibus,’ &c. Cp. Preller, i. 386. Footnote 1138: _Monumenti Antichi_, vol. v. (Barnabei). Von Duhn, translated in _Journal of Hellenic Studies_, 1896, p. 120 foll. Footnote 1139: _Röm. Myth._ i. 104 foll. Footnote 1140: Virg. _Aen._ 8. 601, and Serv.’s note: ‘Prudentiores dicunt eum esse ὑλικὸν θέον, hoc est deum ὕλης.’ Silvanus may have been a true tree-spirit; Mannhardt, _A. W. F._ 118 foll.; Preller, i. 392. Footnote 1141: Vol. i. 335, ed. Hauthal. Footnote 1142: See above, p. 126. It may be noticed that the Bona Dea, whose solemn rite occurs also at the beginning of this month, was identified with Fauna, the female form of Faunus (R. Peter, in _Lex._ s. v. Fauna); i. e. their powers for good and evil were thought to be much alike. Footnote 1143: Preller, i. 381 and reff. Footnote 1144: See under Lupercalia, p. 320. Footnote 1145: Ovid, _Fasti_, 3. 291 foll. I am glad to see that Wissowa accepts this story as genuine Italian (_Lex._ s. v. 1456). Footnote 1146: Cic. _de Div._ 1. 101; Livy, 2. 7 (Silvanus), and Dion. Hal. 5. 16 (Faunus) of the battle by the wood of Arsia. Footnote 1147: _Fasti_, 4. 649 foll. Footnote 1148: _Aen._ 7. 81 foll. Footnote 1149: Calpurnius, _Ecl._ 1. 8 foll. Footnote 1150: Cp. Tylor, _Primitive Culture_, i. 341 foll.; Sir A. Lyall, _Asiatic Studies_, ch. 2. Footnote 1151: _Antike Wald- und Feldkulte_, p. 152. Footnote 1152: See the cuts of two bronze statuettes which Wissowa, following Reifferscheid, believed to represent the un-Graecized Italian Faunus, at the end of the article ‘Faunus’ in _Lex._ 1460. But it is at least very doubtful whether Reifferscheid was right in his opinion. Footnote 1153: By an error Silvius has entered it on the 12th. Footnote 1154: For Inuus see on Lupercalia, and Livy, i. 5. Footnote 1155: _de Feriis_, xii. His other argument, that Inuus is not a nomen, but a cognomen, is less satisfactory. Can we always be sure which is which? (e. g. Saturnus, Janus). Footnote 1156: Festus, p. 340. Footnote 1157: _de Mensibus_, p. 118, ed. Bekk.; quoted by Mommsen, _C. I. L._ i 2,. 336.
