1 cf. 57, 58. avvQfros 60-^ or avvQeais seems to mean a 

 kind of pot-pourri, which was from time to time renewed 

 with fresh rose-petals. Sch. understands avv6e<ns to mean 

 'clothes in a wardrobe' (cf. Lat. synthesis), but it must 

 surely have the same meaning here as avvQe-ros oo>u) : Sch.'s 

 citation from 57 does not seem to prove his point, and 

 /jLfvovffi TTO\VV xpovov ot <rvv6fafi$ in 58 is conclusive against 

 him. cf. also 69.
