a. Not legible in the facsimile, but there is space for it. The

 so and so, &c." In criticising this reading of mine, Professor Hall

 epithet would signify, if any thing ' whose toes are notorious." ' He 

 was led to the mistake by referring to his Dictionary for the com- 

 pound term pdddnta instead of the separate words pdda and mta,
