Berndtin · his Lexicon Homericum says: “Mes·sores linea recta metendo procedunt, viam ducunt metendo; nam λauve ὄγμον, et ἄγειν ὄγμον, pro ὀγμεύειν, · sulcum ducere, proficisci linea recta; · ad analogiam ἐλαύνειν τάφρον significat • viam ducere rectam, ut arator aratro sulcum ducere dicitur.” The hippopotamus, which feeds walking backwards, is said by Nicander, Ther. 570. · ὄγμον ἐλαύνειν παλίσσυτον; and Oppian, speaking of cranes travelling, says, Hal. A. 625. ἄλλυτον ὄγμον ἄγουσιν. Comp. Sturz's Lexicon Xenoph. v. ὀγμεύειν. Ογμος is incorrectly accented on the last syllable in some dictionaries. - Δύνᾳ. Doric for δύ· νασαι. See Matth. Gr.

Ησω will you be in the evening, or even in the afternoon? Portus constitutes an hysteronproteron here. See Matth. Gr. Gr. § 425. 2. a. Δείλη, by itself, signifies twilight, either in the morning or in the evening. Comp. Viger, ii. f 4. 5. Tù is Doric for où, which escaped Schafer on Sophocles, Trach. p.332. - ̓́Αματος.

This word is improperly written with an acute on the penult in the common ediiions. - Πέ τρας ἀπόκομμα.. Fragment of the flinty crag." Polwhele. Comp. Tibullus, i. 1. 64. i. 10. 59. - 8. Πο θέσαι.

See Madame Dacier on Callimachus, L. P. vs. 4. Hermann on Aristoph. Nub. 142. Hoogeveen, xxxii. § 1. 5. 11. Μηδέ γε συμβαίη. No: and may it never happen. - Χαλεπόν. It is dangerous to make a dog taste a skin. A proverb, to which Horace alludes, Sat. ii. 5. 83. Ut canis a corio nunquam absterrebitur uncto.” Lucian also mentions it in his tract to an Illiterate Bibliomaniac, c. 25. Ovdè yàp κύων ἅπαξ παύσαιτο ἂν σκυτοτραγεῖν μαθοῦσα. Comp. Erasmus, Adag. ii. 4. 22. Χορίον, or χόριον, signifies the external membrane which wraps the foetus in the womb; hence a skin, leuther. The passages from Lucian and Horace seem to favour this meaning here. Some translate it “exta,” or intestina,” entrails. 12. Εραμαι. Comp. i. 78. ii. 149. 13. Ἐκ πίθω. A proverb. The meaning is: You doubtless are wealthy and live upon luxuries; but I am poor, and must not even dream of being in love. For δῆλον, which is taken here ironically, Brunck reads from conjecture πηλὸν, wine; and for ὄξος he gives ὄξους: but Reiske shows that a nominative, or an accusative, may be joined with ἅλις. The English idiom is similar: I have scarcely vinegar enough. Comp. Apoll. Rhod. ii. 424. Callimachus, H. Jov. vs. 84. 14. Τοιγάρτοι. Α proverb, meaning that every thing was neglected: Therefore all before my doors is unweeded since sowing time. Somewhat similar is this of Virgil, Ecl. ii. 70. “ Semiputata tibi frondosa vitis in ulmo est. The commentators understanding this verse of Theocritus literally, and not being able to reconcile the ten days® passion of Battus with the length of time from sowing to harvest, propose reading σποδῶ for σπόρω. Polwhele translates it: "Ah! hence it is my fallows are unsown.' 15. Τίς δέ τυ. Comp. i. 56. Πολυβώτα. The daughter of Polybutas, 16. Α πράν. This verse occurred before, Idyl vi. 41. ΜΙΛΩΝ.

They are humorously said to ridicule Battus for falling in love with an old maid. The Gods have caused you to be fascinated by an old maid, to punish you for your sins: and, having attained what you ardently desired, you must make the best of it, * The vulgar personages of Theocritus are full of adages. It is remarkable, that the common people, in general, manage the proverbs of their country with great adroitness." Polwhele. 19. Τυφλὸς δ ̓ οὐκ αὐτός. The pronoun αὐτὸς is used here in the signification of μόνος. Comp. Polyb. vi. 48. Viger, iv. §9.20. Ω φρόντιστος. For ὁ ἀφρόντιστος, the author of cares. So this word is interpreted by H. Stephens : curarum auctor Cupido." In this case it is compounded of a intensitive and is equivalent to mo 66 21. Τὸ λαῖον. Comp. Eustathius on Homer, Il. Β. 147.22. Κόρας. For περὶ κόρας.
