page 237 note 1 Rom. Quest, of Plutarch, p. 89 sqq. Since my views are several times cited and most courteously criticised in the work under discussion, I take the opportunity of remarking à propos of vol. iv, p. 53, that I have expressed myself loosely in op. cit. p. 204, note on quaest. Rom. 86. I say there that the second aition given by Plutarch for the unluckiness of marriage in May, the fact that the ceremony of the Argei comes then, is undoubtedly right. I should have said that either that or his third reason, the sacrifices to the dead in that month, was a sufficient explanation. In vol. iv, p. 84, Frazer convincingly refutes Mannhardt's theory of the Argei, which I had adopted; I have since abandoned it, and am now inclined to the second of the explanations given by Frazer, that the puppets represent a sacrifice to the river to induce it to spare the real men who cross it by that impious invention, the Pons Sublicius.
