^{page 148 note 1} ‘First, thou art a king; the native-born glory (treasure, most valuable thing) of great cities hath this most reverend office, and well it fits thy temper.’

^{page 148 note 2} Not more tortuous, however, than previous renderings, whether without emendation or with it.

^{page 148 note 3} When is an eye not congenital? Only when it is a glass eye. But I could understand a kindred eye as the eye of a kinsman; or as in Ar. Ach. 789.

^{page 149 note 1} In (e.g.) the Oxford Advanced Atlas, ed. 5 (1936) the coastal fringe of Cyrenaica is shown as having a 4-in. rainfall in January which makes it unique between Tunis and the eastern extremity of the continent. (So much for Christ's view that this interpretation of Py. iv. 52 is—while right—‘rerum naturae contrarium’). And the comparative humidity—and consequent verdure and fertility—of this region have frequently been mentioned by our newspaper correspondents in the recent campaign. But in Pindar's time the rainfall here, as in the Mediterranean generally, was considerably larger; 1800 B.C. to A.D. 500 is reckoned the period of ‘the “classical” rainfall maximum’ by climatologists, who even refer specifically to a subsequent ‘desiccation of Cyrenaica.’ See e.g. Brooks, C. E. P., The Evolution of Climate (Benn, 1922), pp. 140–2, 147–8Google Scholar, a reference which I owe to my colleague Professor Roxby.

^{page 149 note 2} As to sense I follow (for reasons already here implicit) the ordinary interpretation (e.g. Christ, Gildersleeve, Schroeder (ed. 1922), Sandys, Puech, Wade-Gery–Bowra, Farnell), not the curious heresy of (e.g.) Heyne and (still) Liddell–Scott–Jones.

^{page 149 note 3} Where the connexion of 532 with 537 (διπλ⋯ δ' ἔτεισαν) is hardly appreciated.
