Revue de Philologie, Vols. XXXVI and XXXVII.

Pp. 5-29. Paul Lejay. Dix mois d'ennui. A study ot
Virgil, Eel. IV 60-61. Virgil says ' decern menses ' because he
is thinking, not of the child's birth, but of his earliest smile.
Cp. Pliny, N. H. VII 2, ' at hercules risus praecox ille et celer-
rimus ante quadragesimum diem nulli datur '. To add 40
days to the normal period of gestation (280 days) makes more
than ten months ( 10 X 30 + 20) — but a poet may speak in
round numbers. <Cp. Hieron. Ep. 21, 2, 5, 'decern mensum
fastidia sustineret>

P. 29. Michel Breal. L'exclamation Malum ! This is an
accusative neuter which answers the question quo ; cp. ' Abi in
malam rem ! ' ' Va-t-en a la male heure ! ' efe 5\e8pov. Malum
(with a long) is a synonym of mollifies. It means the soften-
ing or rotting of vegetables. Compare the use of ' La peste ! '
in the French comic poets.

Pp. 30-34. Charles Picard. Le decret sur la constitution
de l'oligarchie a Thasos (412/11 av. J.-C). A new study of
the inscription (I. G. XII 8) on the original stone.

Pp. 35-47. Louis Havet. Textual notes on the Aeneid.
In IX 160 omit the last two words and leave the line incom-
plete: 'cura datur Messapo et moenia'. In IX 161 read
Rutulo, and insert 163 before 161. In IX 229 read nixi (for
adnixi). In XI 503 omit et (after audeo).

Pp. 48-77. W. M. Calder. Inscriptions d'Iconium (found
in 1910). Text and comment.

Pp. 80-129. Philippe Fabia. La journee du 15 Janvier 69
a Rome. A detailed study of the memorable day on which
Rome saw the fall of Galba and the accession of Otho. The
accounts given by Tacitus, Plutarch and Suetonius are inde-
pendent of one another, but are all derived from the same
source.

Pp. 130-131. Th. Reinach. A propos du miroir Schlum-
berger. The first line of the inscription is, <u Aea«'[« A]at8a

Museum LXIV-LXV (A. J. P. XXXII 348). Elegy IV 8
refers to the birthday of Cerinthus. In IV 10, 1 multum
modifies securus. In line 7 read credam. In IV 6, 20 read
' hie idem vobis iam vetus exstet amor '.

Pp. 148-178. Alfred Jacob. Curae Strabonianae. Textual
notes, with complete collations of AGr for Book IV.

Pp. 179-189. Georges Wormser. Tacite et Quintilien.
The Institutio Oratoria appeared in 94 ; the Dialogus of Tac-
itus must have been begun in 95, and published at the end of
96. Asper holds that oratory was never so flourishing as in
his own day. Messala-Quintilian praises the orators of former
times, and hopes that men may return to their methods and
recover their eloquence. Maternus-Tacitus is pessimistic : the
classical reaction will all be in vain. Aper is refuted by Mes-
sala, and he in turn by Maternus.

Pp. 190-191. D. Serruys. Stobee, Floril. Ill 29, 86 et III

Pp. 192-193. L. Havet. Forsit was really a 7roAAa»as dp-q-
pUvov. It occurs in Horace, Sat. I 6, 49 ; it should be restored
in Terence, Eun. 197, Andr. 957, and perhaps in Horace, Od. I
28,31.

Pp. 193-195. L. Havet. La forme de funus dans Lucain.
The manuscript confusion of foedus and funus (IV 232, X
373, I 429) suggests that Lucan used an archaic form foenus.

P. 195. L. Havet. Isidore, Etymol. 2, 21, 43. For efon

Pp. 196-201. P. Collomp. Per omnia elementa (un detail
de l'initiation isiaque). This phrase in Apuleius, Metam.
XI 23, refers to a liturgical representation of the purificatory
journey of the soul through the astral zones.

Pp. 201-202. P. Lejay. L'ascension a travers les cieux
dans Eusebe de Cesaree (Hist. eccl. X iv, 15). A footnote to
the preceding article.

Pp. 203-208. J. Vendryes. Le langue des Defixionum
tabellae de Johns Hopkins University. Notes on the curse-
tablets published by W. Sherwood Fox, in a supplement to the
American Journal of Philology, Vol. XXXIII (1912). The
deponent form polliciarus, the dative me, the nominative plural
quas, suggest the influence of the Marsian dialect.

but it rests on no good ground.

Pp. 213-238. Bulletin bibliographique.

Pp. 243-263. P. Lejay. Les origines d'une preposition
latine Absque. In Plautus and Terence absque ted esset is a
coordinate form of the conditional proposition and, usually, a
parenthesis (like Virgil's sineret dolor, Aen. VI 31). The
conditional sense is not implied in absque, or in one of its
elements, but in the form of the verb. In absque we have
the preposition abs and the que of coordination. In later
times (from Fronto on) absque was used as a preposition.
M. Lejay adds a note on ' quod conditionnel '.

Pp. 264-278. L. Meridier. Eou0ds. A careful study of the
Greek texts where this word occurs seems to show that it
referred, not to color, but to sound or movement.

Pp. 279-280. L. Havet. Horace, Od. 1, 27, 19. Proposes,
' Quanta labora s scis Charybdi ' ? ("Te doutes-tu bien . . .").

Pp. 280-283. L. Havet. Lucain, 6, 33^-338. This passage
looks like a reminiscence of Virgil, G. 4, 425-7. It may be
paraphrased : " Quant aux feux du milieu du ciel (les ardeurs
de midi), et quant a l'amorce <encore> solstitiale de la
devorante periode leonine (les ardeurs du plein ete), l'Othrys
couronne de bois en preserve le pays ".

Pp. 284-296. Maurice Brillant. Inscription de Tomes. A
new study of an inscription already published by Mommsen
and by Cagnat. It belongs to the reign of Antoninus Pius,
and shows the existence of a college of Alexandrian merchants
in the city of Ovid's exile.

Pp. 297-298. H. Lebegue. Seneque, Epistt. ad Lucilium,
ed. Otto Hense, Teubner, 1898. Ep. XII 5, read ' in extrema
tegula '. Ep. LIII 6, read ' et varos fecit dextros pedes ', or
' varosque fecit dextros pedes '. Ep. LX 2, read frumentum,
instead of instrumentum.

Pp. 299-308. L. Delaruelle. Observations sur Giceron.
Ac. I 17, change heredem to heredes, and transpose the words
'Speusippum sororis filium', to follow ' reliquisset '. Ac. II

Vol. XXXVII (1913).

Pp. 5-7. L. Havet. Notes on the ancient lives of Virgil-
In the Vita Donatiana, 292 Brummer, read ' cum non id ipsum
praestarit '. Praestavi for praestiti is common in late Latin.
Here it means 'promise'. In Focas, 74, read 'via tuta per
umbras '. In Philargyrius, 19 Br., omit et ; in 88, read crebro
pronuntiarentur ' ; in 157, omit scientiae; in 163, read 'rediit
unde '.

Pp. 7-18. L. Havet. Horatiana. In C. 1, 7, 23 read po-
pulna. In C. 1, 28, 19 Horace probably wrote ' senum iuve-
num' (asyndeton). In the second Epode, transpose lines
15-16, to come before 11. In Epod. 15, 7 read ' lupus in', and
mark a lacuna of two lines. In Epod. 17, 39 read ' iuvencos
centum '. In the sixteenth Epode. lines 49-50 and 61-62 are a
case of double recension. Lines 61-62 should be omitted ;
49-50 should be retained, in their present position. In C. S.
26, Bentley's conjecture is good: 'quod, semel dictum, stabilis
per aevum '. Compare the per of the next line, in precisely
the same position.

Pp. 19-46. P. Collomp. Une source de Clement d'Alex-
andrie et les homelies pseudo-clementines. The writer hints
at certain ' Pythagorean ' doctrines in Philo.

Pp. 47-52. J. Marouzeau. Ce que valent les manuscrits

Pp. 53-61. Philippe Fabia. L'ambassade d'Othon aux
Vitelliens (Tacite, Hist. I. 74). It is unlikely that Otho's
commissioners went as far as Lyons. Perhaps they were
stopped, by order of Valens, soon after they crossed the
frontier.

" Magus puer " inscription of the Lateran Museum. In the
third line read: 'quam stabilis tibi haec vita est' ("Que ta
nouvelle vie est stable! "). In the last line, for slruatur read
staiuaiur. The inscription is of no value in determining the
text of St. Cyprian.

Pp. 77-94. Charles Picard. Les inscriptions du theatre
d'Ephese et le culte d'Artemis Ephesia. Notes on the inscrip-
tions published by R. Heberdey in the second volume of
Forschungen in Ephesos. The first one (which belongs to the
early part of the third century b. c.) attests the financial role
of the ' Essenes '. The tenth mentions Ephesian daopol (who
probably announced the festivals of Artemis). The twentieth
refers to the temple of Artemis Soteira founded by Lysi-
machus.

without much attempt at coordination. His own additions are
not mere gratuitous invention; they bring out something
which is implied in the original narrative, and help to render
it more intelligible. He tries to give each personage a distinct
personality, and tries to make him act or speak in a way
which is appropriate to his character or his situation.

Pp. 162-182. Paul Vallette. Phenix de Colophon et la
poesie cynique. A criticism of G. A. Gerhard's book (1909).
Phoenix cannot be called an apostle of Cynicism. There is
nothing specifically or exclusively Cynic in the fragments
which have been preserved.

Pp. 183-190. D. Serruys. A propos de Phenix de Colo-

The fragments represent a modified form of Cynicism, such,
for example, as is found in the so-called Letters of Heraclitus

l'histoire de l'Atellane. Interpretation of a famous passage in
Livy (VII 4), 'quae inde exodia postea appellata consertaque
fabellis potissimum atellanis sunt '. Fabellis is probably abla-
tive : ' ces lazzi furent appeles exodes et cousus ensemble a
l'aide de contes, principalement des contes d'Atella '. Inter-
pretation of Juvenal, VII 71, 'Urbicus exodio risum movet
atellanae | gestibus Autonoes '. Atellanae is probably an ad-
jective qualifying Autonoes: 'Urbicus, dans un exode, pro-
voque le rire en f aisant les gestes d'une Autonoe d'Atella '.

A. Jeanroy. Le debat du clerc et de la damoiselle, poeme
inedit du XI V e siecle. 17 pages. Twenty-five years ago G.
Paris called attention to this unpublished poem, and requested
M. Jeanroy to edit it. But the latter did not carry out the wish
of the master until a later and garbled version had been
unearthed in that strange compilation known as the Jardin de
Plaisance. After giving a critical edition of the text, a some-
what similar poem of the early sixteenth century is published
in a long note.

Arthur Langfors. Notice du manuscrit francais 17068 de
la Bibliotheque nationale. 11 pages. The larger portion of
this manuscript contains a collection of exempla similar to the
Cy nous dit. This is here passed over without any detailed
description. The last few leaves of the paper volume contain
a number of short poems and prose selections, which are the
subject of especial study and which are in many instances
published in extenso.

1. Suffixe -ardo-. This suffix appears to have been unusually
fertile in forming proper names of persons, rivers, mountains
and places in Upper Italy, France and Spain prior to the advent
of the Latin language. A detailed etymological study of many
of these names is made, accompanied by extensive bibliograph-
ical footnotes. 2. Suffixe -aldo-. This suffix is much rarer
than the preceding form, but it occurs over much the same
territory as the other, and it is similarly used.

Giulio Bertoni. II " Pianto " provenzale in morte di Re
Manfredi. 10 pages. Manfred was a favorite with the
Provencal poets, and after his untimely death in 1266 he became
a sort of legendary hero. No general study of these poems
has, however, yet been made, although it would appear to be an
attractive field for investigation. One of these poems is here
published in a critical edition. It is to be considered anony-
mous in spite of the fact that it has sometimes been attributed
to Aimeric de Peguilhan.

L. Constans. Une traduction f rancaise des Hero'ides d'Ovide
au XIII e siecle. 22 pages. Ovid's treatises on love and his
Metamorphoses were great favorites in the Middle Ages not
only with the clerics but also with the laity. The Heroides,
however, met with less favor, and hence the author of the
present article has thought it worth while to give some account
of fourteen prose versions of certain of these letters which
occur more especially in three Old French manuscripts. After
an investigation of the generally awkward manner in which
these amatory epistles have been introduced into his narrative
by the mediaeval chronicler, the author proceeds to investigate
the probable date of the collection. In an appendix he compares
the Old French translations here studied with certain Old
Italian versions published by other scholars.

Edmond Faral. Une source latine de l'histoire d' Alexandre.
La lettre sur les merveilles de l'lnde. 17 pages. The history of
Alexander the Great was a great favorite with mediaeval
writers, and by degrees they inserted in it more and more of the
marvelous in recounting his exploits in the East. Some of
these tales appear to have been derived from a Latin work of
the ninth century which M. Omont has published under the
title Lettre a l'empereur Adrien sur les merveilles de l'Asie.
But further investigations have shown that this text is closely
related to the Epistola Premonis regis ad Trajanum impera-

10 pages. This short poem had never before been published
in its entirety, although its existence had long been known. The
author is otherwise unknown, albeit the single manuscript which
contains his poem has belonged to the royal library since 1373,
when it appears in the inventory drawn up by Gilles Mallet.

Amos Parducci. Le Mystere de Suzanne et la decoration de
quelques livres d'heures imprimes. 12 pages. Towards the
end of the fifteenth century and during the first years of the
sixteenth the numerous editions of Books of Hours were richly
ornamented with woodcuts. The legend of Suzanne was a
favorite subject, and it is here shown that the popular Mystere
de Suzanne must have been the immediate source used.

Albert Counson. Francorchamps et la Francorum semita.
14 pages. The curious-looking name of this village in Belgium
near the Prussian frontier has attracted the attention of many
scholars in times past. As early as 1130 the name is found in
a Latin chart, and frequently thereafter in similar documents.
After the manner of M. Bedier the author of this article then
proceeds to prove that the place in question was named after
the French pilgrim road which led through this region from
one monastery to another in mediaeval times.

C. de Boer. Guillaume de Machaut et l'Ovide moralise.
18 pages. It has been the fashion to suppose that Guillaume
de Machaut borrowed many of his stories directly from Ovid ;
but of late scholars have inclined rather to the opinion that he
took them from the mediaeval Ovide moralise. This latter
hypothesis is now proven to be true by the citation of numerous
parallel passages.

Edmond Faral. Une source latine de l'histoire d' Alexandre
la Lettre sur les merveilles de l'lnde (suite). 18 pages. In
this article the relations existing between the various works

cited are discussed at some length. Many amusing traditions
are cited by way of comparison, with the final result that the
ultimate source is found in Greece. Additional light is thus
thrown on the literary channels by which Oriental traditions
were transmitted to the West during the Middle Ages.

C. Salvioni. Centuria di note etimologiche e lessicali. 32
pages. The first half of this article is herewith presented to
the reader. These numerous etymologies are chiefly confined
to the Italian field with only an occasional excursus into other
Romance territory.

Jessie L. Weston. Notes on the Grail Romances. 24 pages.
1. Sone de Nansai, Parzival and Perlesvaus. This is a lengthy
and wearisome romance and from a literary point of view the
poem is not of first-rate importance, yet it contains several
striking features in connection with the Arthurian cycle which
make it worthy of attention at the hand of scholars. 2. The
Perlesvaus and the Histoire de Fulk Fitz-Warin. A Shrop-
shire Blanche-Launde and a Northumbrian Blanche Lande vie
with each other as the probable seat of a certain Arthurian
tradition, and the conclusion here reached is that the author of
the Perlesvaus was utilizing a genuine tradition originally
located in the wild Northumbrian Moorland, but which, through
a similarity of place-names, had been transferred to the Welsh
Border.
