We came in the courfe of our voyage to Trapezus, a Greek city in a maritime fituation, a colony from Sinope, as we are in- formed by Xenophon, the celebrated Hiftorian. We furveyed the Euxine fea with the greater pleafure, as we viewed it from the lame fpot, whence both Xenophon and Yourfelf had formerly ob- ferved it. Two altars of rough Hone are ftill landing there ; but, from the coarfenefs of the materials, the letters infcribed upon them are indiftincliy engraven, and the Infcription itfelf is incor- rectly written, as is common among barbarous people. I deter- mined therefore to erect altars of marble, and to engrave the In- fcription in well marked and diftinct characters. Your Statue, which Hands there, has merit in the idea of the figure, and of the defign, as it reprefents You pointing towards the fea; but it bears no refemblance to the Original, and the execution is in other re- fpects but indifferent.

AUTHOR OF MODERN AND ANTJENT GEOGRAPHY FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS. STEREOTYPED BY J. HOWE. PHILADELPHIA: BLANQHARD AND LEA. 1851. G- PREFATORY NOTE INDEX OF DR. BUTLER'S ANTIENT ATLAS. It is to be observed in this Index, which is made for the sake of complete and easy refer- ence to the Maps, that the Latitude and Longitude of Rivers, and names of Countries, are given from the points where their names happen to be written in the Map, and not from any- remarkable point, such as their source or embouchure. The same River, Mountain, or City &c, occurs in different Maps, but is only mentioned once in the Index, except very large Rivers, the names of which are sometimes repeated in the Maps of the different countries to which they belong. The quantity of the places mentioned has been ascertained, as far as was in the Author's power, with great labor, by reference to the actual authorities, either Greek prose writers, (who often, by the help of a long vowel, a diphthong, or even an accent, afford a clue to this,) or to the Greek and Latin poets, without at all trusting to the attempts at marking the quantity in more recent works, experience having shown that they are extremely erroneous. -

The Local Impact Of The Koinon In Roman Coastal Paphlagonia Abstract This dissertation studies the effects that a “koinon” in the Roman period could have on its constituent communities. The tudys traces the formation process of the koinon in Roman coastal Paphlagonia, called “the Koinon of the Cities in Pontus,” and its ability to affect local customs and norms through an assortment of epigraphic, literary, numismatic and archaeological sources. The er sults of the study include new readings of inscriptions, new proposals on the interpretation of the epigraphic record, and assessments on how they inform and change our opinion regarding the history and the regional significance of the coastal Paphlagonian koinon. This study finds that the Koinon of the Cities in Pontus in coastal Paphlagonia was a dynamic organisation whose membership and activities defined by the eparchic administrative boundary of the Augustan settlement and the juridical definition of the Pontic identity in the eparchic sense. The necessary process that forced the periodic selection of municipal peers to attain koinon leadership status not only created a socially distinct category of “koinon” elite but also elevated the koinon to extraordinary status based on consensus in the eparchia. -
Anti -Mirrors of Princes in Ne O -Latin Habsburg Novels
A NTI- MIRRORS OF P RINCES IN N EO-LATIN H ABSBURG N OVELS By Florian Schaffenrath This paper deals with the literary feature of ‘negative mirrors of princes’ in Neo-Latin novels from the Habsburg Empire. After a general clarification of the term ‘anti-mirror of princes’, we discuss these passages in detail: an essential, significant feature of the Habsburg novels is their propagation of a supranational identity capable of uniting different peoples for the ruling dynasty. They succeeded in this not only by using Latin, but with a series of different literary techniques, e.g. anti-mirrors of princes, as often the exact opposite of a good ruler of an entire empire is depicted in these antitheses. I In the third chapter of the famous Spanish novel La vida de Lazarillo de Tormes y de sus fortunas y adversidades (earliest surviving edition Burgos 1554, among others), the protagonist and first-person narrator Lazarillo is in the service of an impoverished member of the lower nobility, who one day reveals to him how he might preserve the favour of a member of the higher nobility, if only he could manage to be employed by such a nobleman:1 Ya cuando asienta un hombre con un señor de título, todavía pasa su lacería. ¿Pues por ventura no hay en mi habilidad para servir y contes- tar a estos? Por Dios, si con él topase, muy gran su privado pienso que fuese y que mil servicios le hiciese, porque yo sabría mentille tan bien como otro, y agradalle a las mil maravillas: reille ya mucho sus donai- res y costumbres, aunque no fuesen las mejores del mundo; -

A POLLONIUS RHODIUS was born about B.C. 235, in JL\. the reign of Ptolemy Euergetes, either at Alexandria or at Naucratis. Strabo is in favour of the former, while Athenseus and ./Elian declare for the latter place. He appears to have given himself up at an early age to- literary pursuits, and his choice is scarcely to be wondered at when we reflect upon the age in which he lived and the literary atmosphere in which he found himself. We are not expressly told whether it was choice or necessity that led him to select the career he did, but from the fact that the leading poet of that day took the young aspirant in hand and instructed him in his art, we may fairly infer that Apollonius was a man of some standing and position in life. -

It would seem, however, that neither of these objects should be the primary aim of a translator constructing a version that is to be printed facing the original text. In these circumstances the purpose of the version is to assist the reader of the original to understand its meaning. This modest intention must guide the choice of a rendering for each phrase or sentence, and considerations of EngHsh style are of necessity secondarj^ A few biographical notes on persons mentioned by the author will be found in the index. -

De Chorographia
De chorographia Pomponius Mela Liber I [1] Orbis situm dicere aggredior, impeditum opus et facundiae minime capax - constat enim fere gentium locorumque nominibus et eorum perplexo satis ordine, quem persequi longa est magis quam benigna materia - verum aspici tamen cognoscique dignissimum, et quod, si non ope ingenii orantis, at ipsa sui contemplatione pretium operae attendentium absolvat. [2] Dicam autem alias plura et exactius, nunc ut quaeque erunt clarissima et strictim. Ac primo quidem quae sit forma totius, quae maximae partes, quo singulae modo sint atque habitentur expediam, deinde rursus oras omnium et litora ut intra extraque sunt, atque ut ea subit ac circumluit pelagus, additis quae in natura regionum incolarumque memoranda sunt. Id quo facilius sciri possit atque accipi, paulo altius summa repetetur. [3] Omne igitur hoc, quidquid est cui mundi caelique nomen indidimus, unum id est et uno ambitu se cunctaque amplectitur. Partibus differt; unde sol oritur oriens nuncupatur aut ortus, quo demergitur occidens vel occasus, qua decurrit meridies, ab adversa parte septentrio. [4] Huius medio terra sublimis cingitur undique mari, eodemque in duo latera quae hemisphaeria nominant ab oriente divisa ad occasum zonis quinque distinguitur. Mediam aestus infestat, frigus ultimas; reliquae habitabiles paria agunt anni tempora, verum non pariter. Antichthones alteram, nos alteram incolimus. Illius situs ob ardorem intercedentis plagae incognitus, huius dicendus est. [5] Haec ergo ab ortu porrecta ad occasum, et quia sic iacet aliquanto quam ubi latissima est longior, ambitur omnis oceano, quattuorque ex eo maria recipit; unum a septentrione, a meridie duo, quartum ab occasu. Suis locis illa referentur. [6] Hoc primum angustum nec amplius decem milibus passuum patens terras aperit atque intrat.
