 Adversaria. 397 v. 14. The next word 'laoviav, as applied to Epidaurus, hap- pily illustrates and is illustrated by a passage of Strabo, who says, on the authority of Aristotle (8. 15), speaking of Epidaurus, Ta>v 'HpaicXeideov KareX66vT(ov "lavas avrois ovvoiKrjo-ai*. In v. 15 of course we must punctuate bevpo, pomp' and supply perhaps ode . . . 6/aiXos. Many suitable epithets will occur to the reader. The passage will now assume at least an intelligible form. I have ventured to subjoin a translation.
