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 enivoftldg. 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 ; L e. a horse to reckon as an ox, and a goat as a 

 sheep. 



" Line 19. Noju-cov^ is the contractor who farms the public pasture land : thus 

 tsXwvijj, epymvitfi (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. K«uju,«, or eyxav^u, is a burnt-in mark ; see Scaliger on Varro de 

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

 Tpvo-lnmov. Eubulus is to register, 1st, the marks of his cattle, horses, &c. 

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



" Line 22. Jwv&i is for 2m (&oo- ( ), I being put for E, as in AmNO0ETIONTO3 

 and AOKIEI, in the Orchomenian inscriptions, and for ovo-yc, in one at 



Thebes, which Pococke has given with his characteristic inaccuracy. 



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

 than XHO^. 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.
