References

page 172 note 1 It is difficult to reconcile this with the statement on p. 78 relative to the Scythian and Libyan λόγοι: ‘Diese zeigen offensichtlich den besonderen Stil der Periegese und sind nicht durch das historische Leitmotiv bestimmt.’ P. admits that these are exceptions, but he makes no reference to them in the earlier passage.

page 172 note 2 His reluctance to accept this hypothesis may be partly due to over-simplification, as when on p. 78 he combats the view that H. had at one period ‘rein geographische Interessen’ (my italics).

page 173 note 1 R. E.Suppl. 2, col. 336.

page 173 note 2 My italics.

page 173 note 3 P. himself seems to abandon the Scythian and Libyan λόγοι.
