Krohn (see Aug. 5, above).

Oct. 21. E. Belzner, Land und Heimat des Odysseus (Eberhard). B. seeks to reconstruct from the Odyssey the poet's idea of the island, and shows that Ithaki corresponds more nearly to this conception than Leukas. He concludes that the poet had no personal knowledge of this region. C. U. Clark, Ammiani Marcellini Rerum Gestarum libri qui supersunt, rec. C.U.C. Vol. II., pars. 1 (libri XXVI.XXXI.) (Gudeman).

Classical Weekly (New York). X. 1916.

Oct. 2.

This number contains (1) an account of a Classical Conference conducted by Professors Gilbert Murray and Paul Shorey, and (2) an article by D. M. Robinson on The place of Archaeology in the teaching of the Classics,' with lists of useful books, models, etc.

Oct. 9, 16, 23. In the first two of these numbers C. K. discusses the interpretation of certain passages in Latin authors. An article by R. W. Husband on Legislation against political clubs during the Republic runs through the three numbers. Reviews: Oct. 9. E. S. Duckett, Studies in Ennius (J. C. Rolfe). D raises the question of the place of Ennius among writers of history, and that of the part played by the Roman chorus in speech or song within the action of the drama. Oct. 16. Gilbert Murray, Hamlet and Orestes (W. K. Prentice). If classical scholars should study the ancient literature in the spirit which Professor Murray's lecture displays, ... there would be less complaint that the Classics have small value or interest for the modern world.' Oct. 23. A. Hekler, Greek and Roman Portraits (T. L. Shear). The book contains 311 plates, showing in all 518 illustrations. The reproductions are good and the cost is low, but the English version of the letterpress is unsatisfactory.

Nov. 12. W. A. Oldfather and H. V. Canter, The defeat of Varus and the German frontier policy of Augustus (R. Magoffin). A scholarly and valuable piece of work.'

Deutsche Literaturzeitung. 1916.

July 29. F. Preisigke and Spiegelberg, Ägyptische und griechische Inschriften und Graffitti, ed. by P. and S. (Schubart). The text is often uncertain. P. Hamberger, Die rednerische Disposition in der alten Texvn Topiký (Korax-Gorgias-Antiphon) (Schissel v. Fleschenberg). Has certain merits.

Aug. 12. A. Chatzis, Der Philosoph und Grammatiker Ptolemaios Chenos (Busse). The fragments have been well edited; but the author without sufficient evidence identifies Pt. Ch. with other Ptolemaei.

Aug. 19. O. Schroeder, Novae comoediae fragmenta in papyris reperta exceptis Menandreis, ed. O. S. (Hense). Highly praised.

Aug. 26. H. Magnus, P. Ovidii Nasonis Metamorphoseon libri XV., rec. H. M. (Riese). A beautiful work. R. Ehwald, P. Cvidius Naso. II. Metamorphoses, ed. R. E. (Riese). Praised.

Sept. 9. D. Plooy and J. C. Koopman, Lucianus, De Dood van Peregrinus van Inleiding en Aanteekeningen voorzien, by D. P. and J. C. K. (Helm). An interesting attempt to introduce this work into the school program. K. Ziegler, Menschen- und Weltenwerden.

Sept. 23. A. W. Persson, Zuv Textgeschichte Xenophons (Thalheim). Praised. P. Gohlke, Die Lehre von der Abstraktion bei Plato und Aristoteles (Görland). Not without value, but shows a lack of methodical schooling.

Oct. 7.

Karl Brugmann, Eipývn, eine sprachgeschichtliche Untersuchung (Feist). Oct. 14. U. v. Wilamowitz-Moellendorf, Staat und Gesellschaft der Griechen (Neumann). The writer's insight into Greek history has become wisdom. B. Niese, Staat und Gesellschaft der Römer (Neumann). Gives an excellent political history, but not a good survey of society.

Oct. 28. E. Bethe, Homer, Dichtung und Sage. I. (Busse). Rich in fine and acute remarks, but gives too simple an explanation of the origin of the Iliad, viz. only two strata.

Nov. 4. C. Hude, Lysiae Orationes, rec. C. H. (Schenkl). The text marks important progress. The fragments are wanting. A. Rostagni, Pitagora e i Pitagorici in Timeo.

Mnemosyne. XLIV. 4.

A. R. van der Loeff, De Scivis, identifies the Scira with the Scirophoria, an Attic festival held in the month Scirophorion (June). The ceremonies were almost identical with the Thesmophoria held in Pyanepsion (October), both being fertility feasts kept exclusively by women. The 'arrhephori' proceeded to certain sacred caverns, whence they carried back to the Acropolis the putrefied remains of the sacred pigs which had been flung into the caverns at the Thesmophoria eight months previously. Ekípov is to be connected with σkiά, and is an old name for the screen of boughs held over the women engaged in the procession. J. J. Hartman, De Domitiano Imperatore et de Poeta Statio, attempts to rehabilitate the emperor's character. In answer to a question propounded by Naber, What do we know for certain about Domitian's personal character ?' he finds on analyzing the evidence that D.'s ill-repute depends almost entirely on insinuations thrown out by Tacitus and Suetonius, which have become positive statements in later writers. The charge against D. of having got rid of Titus is one instance. Statius is regarded as a flatterer of D. His Thebais appeared in its final form near the end of the reign (A.D. 92). It is probable that portions of it were recited in D.'s presence. H. points out that line after line is concerned with quarrels between brothers, the slaughter of one by another, and

complaints against tyrants. If D. was as described by Suetonius, would he have endured this from his 'flatterer'? H. D. Verdam, discussing the order of Isocrates' orations, Busiris, Against the Sophists, Helen, and the replies of Plato thereto, seeks by internal evidence to arrange them in order of time, in reference to each other and to the Tepì ávτidóσews, whose date is known. This done, he considers their relation to certain dialogues of Plato, which he has already dated in a previous article. His results are: I.'s Busiris is answered by P.'s Banquet. I. next attacks P.'s Gorgias and Theaetetus in his or. adv. Soph. P. retorts with Meno. Later P.'s Phaedrus is answered by I.'s Helen. P. H. Damsté has critical notes on Livy XXXVIII. to XL. There are short articles on Heraclitus, fr. 111 (Bywater); Hor. Sat. II. 5. 103; Dem. In Neaeram, p. 1362; Eur. Med. 11; Cic. Cat. I. 1; Plut. Caesar and Hdt. III. 51; and on an Attic inscription (I.G. 943).

Revue de Philologie. XL. 1. 1916.

L. Havet, Sur la détermination des actes dans les comédies de Térence. Advances the hypothesis that for use in the theatre each act of a Roman comedy formed a separate manuscript. G. Lafaye, Le modèle de Térence dans l'Hécyre. It is impossible to regard the 'ETITрÉTOVTES of Menander as an immediate model of the Hecyra. The model was a play named the 'Ekupά, whose author, though most probably he was Apollodorus of Carystos, was uncertain. If it were described as Mevávdpov ἢ 'Aπolλodúpov we should have an explanation of the tradition that a play by Menander served as a secondary model. F. Garin, Sur le manuscrit grec Coislin 169 de la Bibl. Nat. Part of the text of Theocritus contained in this fifteenth-century MS. is shewn to be copied from Laurent.

Rheinisches Museum. Neue Folge. LXXI. 1.

L. Radermacher, Die Gründung von Marseille: Sage und Sitte. The type of the myth is widely spread; only one motive is original and un-Greek; perhaps only the name of the bridegroom is historical. W. F. Otto, Lustrum. Lustrum in the expression lustrum condere means originally the reviewing'; from this meaning arises that of the lists in which the results of the review were registered; lustrum condere 'to lay down the new lists of citizens in the aerarium.' A. Ludwich, Homerische Gelegenheitsdichtungen. On the pseudo-Herodotic biography. A. v. Mess, Die Anfänge der Biographie und der psychologischen Geschichtsschreibung in der griechischen Literatur.

Aug. 28. C. Brokate, De aliquot Plutarchi libellis, G. Hein, Quaestiones Plutarcheae (Bock). Both works give some certain results for the chronology of Plutarch's writings, but they must be used with reserve.

Papyri der neutestamentlichen Seminars der Univ. Berlin. II. Ostraka der Sammlung Deissmann (Karl Fr. W. Schmidt). The text and description of 45 (29) Papyri and 117 (108) Ostraka makes an excellent impression both in substance and in appearance. Eduard Nowotny, Der römische Limes in Oesterreich (Goesker). This account of the excavations at Carnuntum in 1908-11 marks a great advance not only in our knowledge of Carnuntum, but in that of the Roman camp generally.

Oct. 9. Fr. Preisigke and W. Spiegelberg, Ägyptische und griechische Inschriften und Graffiti (Wessely). A notable advance in a difficult study.

Oct. 16. G. Andresen, emendations to Livy XXIII. 42, 13; XXV. 11; 30, 7; 34, 13; XXVI. 35, 7; XXVII. 43, 6; XXXIV. 29, 9; 31, 3.
