Byrsa, The Bull's Hide, at Carthage, and Some Parallels
The Papyri of Thucydides and the Translation of Laurentius Valla
Some uncertainty has always surrounded the translation of Thucydides made by Laurentius Valla in 1452 at the desire of the Humanist Pope, Nicolas V., because its source was unknown. It is recognized that the translation is of unequal value, because, excellent Latinist as Valla was, he was less at home in Greek, and often fails, even when the Greek is not particularly difficult; but his text, whatever its origin and history, is a primary authority…

Notes on Sophocles and Thucydides
Sophocles , Antigone 853–856, Jebb's text: προβᾶσ' ἐπ' ἔσχατον θράσους ὑψηλὸν ἐς Δίκας βάθρον προσέπεσες, ὦ τέκνον, πολύ
Conjectures on Some Passages In Greek Poetry
Hermesianax, ap. Athen. 599 B , I. 91 = Collectanea Alexandrina p. 100. This is a locus desperatus; but since the reviewer of Collectanea Alexandrina in the Classical Review , XXXIX., p. 192, accepts the idea which underlay my conjecture ⋯ξετρνφησε, I think of adding to it οѵδϥμɩνόν τε, which is suggested by Schweighaeuser's οѵδϥμɩνόν The line will thus run: οѵδϥμɩνόν τ' ⋯ξετρνφησε βίον ‘uitam uilem deliciis consumpsit.’ Hesychius has: οѵδαμɩνός …
The Simile of the Clepsydra in Empedocles
It is exxtraordinary what difficulties have been found from ancient times in the extract from Empedocles (fr. 100 Diels) containing his theory of respiration, and preserved by Aristotle, De Respiratione 7, p. 473 B1
Eppe Kakh γahnh. Θ 164
Mr. Agar in Homerica , Preface ix., has suggested that κακ⋯ι γλ⋯νηι was the original reading, ‘Be off with the evil eye upon you.’ I have searched, but in vain, for any formula of imprecation corresponding to the formula of blessing, τύχ⋯γαθ⋯ι, though I should like to see it in κακ⋯ι τѵχ⋯ι of the Treacherous Hound in Agamemnon 1230. Mr. T. C. Snow, objecting to Mr. Agar's alterations of the Homeric text, once suggested to me that we should rather…
ΝΕΠΟΔΕΣ ΚΑΛΗΣ ΑΛΟΣγΔΝΗΣ Od. Δ 404
There is a general agreement among English scholars as to the meaning and derivation of these strange words: Merry and Riddell ad loc. , the admirable article in Liddell and Scott, and Dr. Giles, agree in connecting ѵ⋯ποδες with nepos, neptis , ⋯νεψιóς. The short ο in the declension has come from false analogy with τρíπουε and τετρ⋯ποѵς, 'Aλοσύδѵη is probably for 'Aλοσύνδη ‘salt water.’ Other derivations of ѵ⋯ποδѵς refute themselves. ‘Brood’ is t…
Iepa Pezein
Mr. Mulvany in the Journal of Philology , XXV. 136, in discussing the meanings of ⋯ερ⋯ς, and trying to find something which might be a link between the uses of the word in the sense of ‘strong’ and ‘sacred,’ finds it in the phrase ⋯ερ⋯ ῥ⋯ζειν, which he would translate ‘to act strenuously in a god's service.’ But his argument may be strengthened by the translation, to which the analysis of ancient religion points, ‘to act strongly upon’; ‘to put p…

On Aeschylvs' Evmenides , Schol. a to the Iliad , and the Oxyrhynchvs Papyri
When the Oxyrhynchus Papyri (Vol. IX. No. 1174) of Sophocles' 'ІΧνενταí gave the forms κννηγ[Έ]σω (first aor. subj.), 1. 44 in Fragmenta Tragica Papyracea , and ΈκκννηγΈσαι, 1. 75, it restored to light a verb which is not acknowledged in the Lexicons, but which had remained, though almost unnoticed, in Phrynichus, Soph. Propar. in Bekker's Anecdota I. p. 48, and Theognostus' Canons in Cramer's Anecdota Oxoniensia II. p. 143. The form could not co…

μ⋯. ρ[...] τει. Professor Hunt thinks that this may be the remains of a verb ending in -ε⋯ or -λ⋯; read perhaps 'κρινλάτει. The uncompounded verb occurs in col. iv. 1. 8. It is well known that Sophocles is fond of forming new verbs compounded with ⋯κ. Professor Hunt tells me that this suggestion satisfies the conditions in the Papyrus. Compare κυνηλέσω, 11. 15, 44, and ⋯κκυνηλ⋯σαι, 1. 75
The Paean of Philodamos of Scarpheia

Textual Notes
ὡς ... ⋯ξειργ⋯σατο of MSS. is generally corrected to the third person plural, but it would be more like Thucydides to ⋯ξε⋯ργαστο write: this would then be another instance of the corruption of pluperfects, such as into ἠγγ⋯λλετο and the like, of which many instances are given by Cobet in Nov. Lect. 422, Var. Lect. 253. In the old edition of Poppo, 1826, vol. ii. pt. ii. p. 297, ⋯ξ⋯πγαστο is given as contained in Cod. Bas. ex emend. , but it is no…
