page 204 note 1 I am indebted to Professor H. D. Westlake and Dr. W. J. N. Rudd for discussing with me my draft of this note. They bear no responsibility for my views.

page 205 note 1 See Dodds's note in his edition of the Bacchae, and descriptions of the Nile quoted by him; also Aesch. fr. 290. Musgrave's objection to ‘hundred-mouthed’ ignores the language of poetry.

page 205 note 2 Πάφον f. Φάρον, insulam Aegypti apud Alexandriam; sane in sequentibus Nilum describit. Mire desultorius est Euripides, vere bacchatur cum Bacchis suis, e Cypro ad Nilum, et statim in Macedoniam transiliens' (Reiske, quoted in Musgrave's edition).
