170 Remarks on the Site of Troy 
When the Greeks first fortified their camp, 
they must, of course, have anticipated the 
probability of the Trojans becoming masters 
of the open field, and, consequently, of all 
their cattle, if allowed to range in their ac- 
customed pastures. ‘Their numerous flocks 
and herds must therefore have been included

their support, we must allot a much larger

We find, moreover, (Book XIII, 958; 
XIV. 27to0 460: XV. 455 to 671, and XVI. 
358 to 430) that there was space sufficient
