Rieu 2 502*: The author states that this work, which forms, as it 

 were, a second pari fj^^i) to his &«JJ' ■^f^-> glo^^^^y ancient 

 poets, contains those words and phrases used by modern poets. which 

 are not found in the liJUPj, (^^j-«, ^Is ^^L5>J. or other dictio- 



naries. they are of two kinds, viz. 1. difiicult words, not generally un-
