References

page 115 note 1 The references will be found in fall in Wissowa's article, and the most important in my Roman Festivals, p. III foll.

page 116 note 1 He holds with Diels (Sibyllinische Blätter, p. 42 foll.) that the number 27 should be accepted as having special religious significance at Rome as well as in Greece and elsewhere.

page 116 note 2 The inverted commas are Wissowa's, and speak his well-known contempt for the species.

page 117 note 1 After a fresh reading of his chapters 45–46, I am inclined to think that Varro here uses partes of four districts of the city before they became technically organised as regiones. ‘E quis (partibus) prima est scripta regio Suburana,’ &c, he adds.

page 118 note 1 ‘Sunt enim loca publica urbis, sunt sacella, quae post restitutam tribunieiam potestatem nemo attigit, quae majores in urbe partim periculi perfugia esse voluerunt. Haec lege tribunicia Xviri vendunt.’ I know of no clue to the identification of the sacella here mentioned.

page 118 note 2 This exception he has tried to explain in his work de Feriis, ix. foil. See my Roman Festivals, p. 44.
