page 208 note 1 If Pliny's words ‘circuitu globi alia aliis detegente et occultante’ are to be taken to refer to the same phenomenon as that which Tacitus thus describes, we must credit Pliny with the mistake of identifying Corbulo's miracnlum with the eclipse, supposing it probable that Tacitus reproduces Corbulo's own accurate description. For the shadow of an eclipse conld hardly be confined within the small circuit of a city wall. But as Corbulo certainly was in Armenia when the eclipse occurred, and Pliny, however distant, would scarcely have made the error, it is better to dissociate the Pliny and Tacitus passages entirely.
