^{page 230 note 1} Perhaps a reminiscence of this meaning of sortes lurks in the Vergilian use of the word. Compare

‘Italiam Lyciae iussere capessere sortes.’ Aen. iv. 346

‘Hic ego namque tuas sortes arcanaque fata,

Dicta meae genti, ponam.’ Aen. vi. 72, 73.

And in the next line—

‘Foliis tantum ne carmina manda.’

^{page 230 note 2} So Carapanos supplements Pl. xxxvi. No. 4, reverse; but it may just as well be θεὸν or θεῷ.

^{page 231 note 1} Carapanos cites the passage in support of his conjecture that a shrine to Aphrodite existed on the spot where he discovered a small wheel of bronze with the dedication: (Pl. xxvi. 1).

^{page 232 note 1} Mr. P. Gardner points out to me that this aspirate is not unusual on coins of Tarentum.

^{page 235 note 1} Whatever sound is here assumed for the β (whether a B- sound or a V- or a W- sound) it is perfectly compatible with a genuine diphthongal pronunciation of a preceding αυ, ευ, ηυ.

^{page 236 note 2} For the interchange between the terminations -αω, -οω, -εω in the so-called contracted verbs, it may suffice to refer to Curtius, Das Verbum, &c. (Eng. ed. p. 244, sqq.)

^{page 236 note 3} —Pl. xxxvi. 2.

The omission of the iota in ἐρωτῆ finds its parallel in inscriptions of a somewhat late date, as this may well be; and even in so old a document as the Tabulae Heraclienses, e.g. ἀμμισθωθῆ, i. 112.

^{page 237 note 1} The name Ἄννα occurs in C. I. G. 4003 b (Phrygian), 4315 c (Lycian), 4379 g (Pisidian), and in several Christian inscriptions.

The plate containing this inscription is literally ‘scribbled over.’ On the first side can be recognised the words Τὸν Δία τὸν Δωδωναῖον and some letters of two other inscriptions in large character. On the reverse there are no fewer than four inscriptions: the few decipherable words of one seem to be part of some enquiry touching conjugal fidelity.

^{page 237 note 3} Compare also the υἷ κα βώλωνται of a Cretan (Doric) inscription (a treaty between the Hierapytnians and Magnetes, Cauer, No. 461. It is on the same stone with two others, one of which is Rhodian).

^{page 237 note 4} Pl. xxviii. 2, This document is interesting as being without example in history. Perhaps what is meant is merely something like the honorary title of fratres accorded by the Romans to the Aedui (Caes. B. G. i. 43; Tac. Ann. xi. 25; Cic. Att. i. 19). The decree is engraved ‘au pointillé’ on a plate of bronze.

^{page 237 note 5} —Pl. xxxviii. 1.

^{page 238 note 1} It is doubtless a locative form used for the dative, as is plainly the case in the Elean Damocrates-inscription lines 21 and 28 (Cauer, No. 116).

πινάκια in C. I. G. 76, are according to Boeckh ‘syngraphae mutui, diptychis s. codicillis inscriptae,’ and on the word in C. I. G. 50, which is a list of donaria (§ 33, ), he remarks, ‘exiguam puto tabellam operis tessellati esse, quales nos quoque in anulis gestamus.’
