Circus (by A.-C. Bussemaker and E. Saglio) and Hippodrome (by A. Martin).

^{page 116 note 1} Saglio airily gives agger, axis, and χῶμα as synonyms of spina. He offers no evidence for any of them, and as Thesaurus and Lexicon are alike silent on the subject, it may safely be concluded that no such evidence exists.

^{page 116 note 3} The scholium, which is found in two ninth-century manuscripts, is in itself a curiosity. It is on vi. 588, ‘Plebeium in circo positum est et in aggere fatum’ (Juvenal is denouncing women who consult fortune-tellers in the Circus Maximus, which seems to have been one of their haunts). The scholium reads: ‘In circo, in spina.’ It is true that ancient scholiasts, no less than modern editors, were much given to writing notes explaining the obvious by the obscure, but this carries the practice to incredible lengths. Probably the original scholiast wrote, ‘In aggere, in spina’, and a copyist, assuming like all subsequent editors that by agger Juvenal meant the Agger of Servius Tullius (as in viii. 43 and in Horace, , Sat. i. 8. 15Google Scholar), transferred the note to ‘in circo’. If so, here is at least evidence for one of Saglio's synonyms.

^{page 120 note 1} The usual translation is ‘altar’. But Pausanias is clearly using the word βῶμος here in its original sense of a solidly constructed base. This is not a ἱερὸς βῶμος.
