J Notes by the Editor. 



11. Equus Caballus, aTrapoj. Many Hellenic worils are still retained in Cyprus; and 

 the ancient infinitive is occasionally used in common discourse. Sec Leake's Researches, 

 p. fiS. In no other part of the Levant do we find the word iVirapo?, oraTTrapoj, signifying 

 "ahorse," except in Cyprus ; aAoyov both in common conversation and writing is always 

 applied to that animal. We arc not, however, to suppose, that aXoyov in this sense is of 

 the recent date which many assign to it. It was applied as early as the time of Diogenes 

 Laerlius to beasts of burden ; for when he is speaking of the mules driven by Bias into the 

 camp of Alyattes, he uses the word aXoya ; and Menage (lib. i. sec. 83.) remarks to. aKoya. 

 peculiariter cqui sive jumenta dicuntur. He then quotes Hesychius, xaTDjrov, ■na^k^Kri^a. 

 aKoyuiv. See the correction of this passage in Suicer T. Ecc. in v. akoyov. 



12. Equus Asinus, yai'Sapo;, yauloLfio:, or aeSapo;. On consulting Du Cange we find the 

 word explained in the following manner; aeliapos, "Asinus, quod semper caedatur," 

 p. 2!)., and reference is given to the authorities whence this etymology is taken. It is need- 

 less to point out the absurdity of it. We have found no cxjilanation so satisfactory as 

 that which is given by Reinesius, Var. Lee. Epil. ad Lect. '• KaySu) vrjtro; ■kXy^o-Iov Kp>JTy;f, 

 ev3a aiyta-TOi ovaypoi yi'vovTrti." Suidas. TauSapo.-, therefore, in the abusive language of the 

 mob of Constantinople, who applied it to one of their Emperors, means yat/Jofljv, E Gaudo 

 allatus asinus. Procopius says in his anecdotes, that Justinian was called FauSapo;. Jortin 

 Ecc. Hist. iv. 347. The origin of the Greek name of the jj/icaiaw/, (fumamc, as derived 

 from Phasis, will occur to the reader.
