sensations) pains mingled with pleasures.” With regard to the con- 
struction, toto:s zpos éxztvovs is the ordinary mode of expressing 
enmity or opposition between two parties.

Here, as Stallbaum says, “deest aliquid ad loci integritatem.” Butt- 
mann conjectured éy guy zat cdpatt, Stay Yuyy cbpatt tavaytta 
Supfaddnzat, which suits the sense admirably, but is too violent a 
remedy. Ast imagines that 7 has fallen out after guyn ; but, as 
Stallbaum says, this would hardly suit the sense. I am inclined to 
think that the most natural remedy would be to supply 9, which 
would readily be absorbed in the final syllable of guyq (see note on 
46. E.), and would suit the sense equally with Buttmann’s reading. 
I would render—“ But concerning those in the soul, where it con- 
tributes (to the mixture) opposite sensations to those of the body, 
viz., pain in immediate contrast with the body’s pleasure, &ec.” 
The Trireme. 
In a series of papers, which have appeared, from time to time, in 
the Revue Des Deux Mondes, entitled “La: Marine De L’ Avenir 
Et La Marine Des Anciens,” M. le Vice-Amiral Jurien de la Graviére, 
well known as a naval officer holding high command in the Crimean 
and Mexican campaigns, has examined historically the naval expe- 
ditions of the Ancients, with a view to their bearing on the tactics 
likely to be adopted by modern navies. In the course of his remarks, 
he finds it necessary to refer to the much vexed question of the 
Trireme. . Was the Triremis or Tpijpyc, of the Ancient Greeks and 
Romans, a vessel with three banks of oars, one above the other, as 
the Dictionaries tell us? The answer, whieh he gives to this question, 
is that which has been given by every practical seaman, from the 
old Sieur Barras de la Penne, Capitaine des galéres du Roi, down to 
the present time. All seem to agree that, even if a vessel so con- 
structed might manage to move in smooth water, it would be almost 
impossible for it to manceuvre in a rough sea, or in the rapid 
alternations of a naval combat. How then can we credit the exist- 
ence of such monstrosities as guingueremes and naves sedecim ordinum, 
not to speak of the tescapaxovtypys of Ptolemy Philopator ? 
Plainly some other solution must be found ; for the fact that there 
were vessels so named is too well attested to admit of dispute. The 
first idea, which would naturally occur to one, is that these “vessels 
received their names, not from the number of their oars, but from
