^{page 158 note [x]} In reading this ingenious letter to the Society, I made the cursory observation, which I here beg leave to subjoin. There is a similar word, I mean, ἀλαὸς, whose middle syllable is used both long and short by Homer. Cons. Od. Θ. 195. and K. 493. The reason of it is, that λα in ἀλαὸς is naturally long; but poetically shortened by preceding another vowel; but I never met with the second α long in ἀγαὸς, not even in the hymns (said to be) of Orpheus, in their corrupt state: And were we to allow it produced by the insertion of the Aeolic Digamma, without inserting another after ὀμιχρὸν, I cannot see the propriety of making this syllable also long; unless the μ, being a liquid, has the power of lengthening a short syllable, as some grammarians maintain; with whom I cannot readily join hands, because this liberty would render metre very precarious, and almost useless the addition of η and ω to the Alphabet by Simonides. I should chuse therefore, rather to let the Inscription stand as it does than begin with in the middle of a verse; and drawl ἀγλαόμορϕον into five long syllables. T. M.

^{page 159 note [a]} Montf. in the Diar. Ital. p. 55. draws an argument from this form of the R, to prove that the famous gospel of Saint Mark at Venice is in Latin; and I am of opinion, that, though we see the Canine letter in this shape on this marble, his argumentation is not the less conclusive, by reason, that in the fourth or fifth Centuthe P was the established and general character.
