page 251 note * For historical reasons it seems almost certain that the writer is in error here ; and that he means, not Xerxes, but Dureios, who sacked Miletos in B.C. 494.

page 252 note * A number of instances of these types in archaie Greek and oriental art are collected in the Arch. Zoitung, 1854, taf, lxi,-lxiv.

page 252 note * The illustration in King's Antique Gems, Introd. p. xii. is evidently a feeble rendering of the British Museum sard. King saw it in the Mertens-Schaafhausen collection, from which Castellani bought largely; from Castellani it passed to the British Museum in 1865, with no note of provenance.

page 255 note * IX. 10, 2. His expression shows that in his time, at any rate, there was little or no variation between the two types. Thus he says of the Theban type, Τ δ ἄγαλμα μεγθει τε ἴσον τῷ ν Βραγχσαις στ, κα τ ε༲δος οὐδν διαφρως ἔχον. And further : Διαφρουσι δ τοσνδε (“just so far”) μν γρ ν βραγχδαις χαλκο, δ ʼIσμνι κδρον.

Cervumque una vestigiis suspendit, ut linum subter pedes trahatur, alterno morsu calce digitisqne retinentibus solum, ita vortebrato dentc utrisque in partibus ut a repulsu per vices resiliat.’ The obscurities of tbis passago are quite hopeless, unless we can explain them as due here as well as in other similar cases in Pliny's works, to a misconstruction of his Greek authority.
