NOTES. 



Page 475. The Orchomenian Inscription. 



Mr. Dobree has lately communicated to Dr. Clarke some observations on 

 the Orchomenian marbles : they are printed in the new edition of that 

 volume of Clarke's Travels which contains the inscriptions ; and they are 

 now inserted in this work, as they supply the deficiencies in the translation 

 which has been given of the third inscription. 



" Inscription III. ; line 13. — I put a comma after Imvofjitac. Let Eubulus 

 have a right of pasturage for a given time ; that is to say, the right of 

 grazing, for four years, 220 head of cattle, including horses ; and 1000 

 sheep, including goats ; i. e. a horse to reckon as an ox, and a goat as a 

 sheep. 



" Line 19. No/a»v.j; is the contractor who farms the public pasture land : thus 

 rsXtSiVTis, epywv^g, (Chandler, Marm. Or. xlix.), &c. Eubulus enters his cattle 

 at the offices of the treasurer and of the contractor, that their accounts may 

 check each other. 



" Line 20. Kanixa, or lyxaujaa, is a burnt-in mark ; see Scaliger on Varro de 

 L. L. p. 107. ed. 1619, and the Notes on Hesychius, vv. xoTiraTias and 

 Tpuo-iTTTTiov. Eubulus Is to Tcgistcr, 1st, the marks of his cattle, horses, &c. 

 specifying any that may be unmarked ; 2d, the number of each sort. 



" Line 22. IcuvO. is for tlo-. (eWi), I being put for E, as in Ari2NO0ETlONTOS 

 and AOKIEI, in the Orchomenian inscriptions, and I02AS for ma-rjc, in one at 

 Thebes, which Pococke has given with his ciiaracteristic inaccuracy. 



In the first inscription, lines 3. and 4. the marble seems rather to have XPI02 

 than XHOS. This was pointed out to me by one of the gentlemen at the 

 Museum. May it not be right, taking it for XPE02, a debt ?" — Mr. 

 Dobree's Note.
