(In the English tranflation, Pf. cii. 18.) the people -created. Ecclefiaft. xii. 1. uvnobnlı të xhσavlos. -and in feveral other places, which it is not neceflary to cite, in order to prove the impropriety of twv exlioμevov, after what has been already remarked. In the third Act, it is obfervable, that KTC is used Attico, Efchyleoque mire, as will be mentioned, in a note on the verfe to which we allude +.

77. Owl Euvigopos] It fhould be ovipopos, to preferve the Iambus. To the note on verse 46. may be added Brunck, on Efch. Prom. 243. "Ad veteris Attica diale&ti normam ubique poft fyllabam longam, aut vocalem brevem ob metrum producendam, Evv fcribimus," fc. pro ov; and alfo on Eur. Androm. 2.

-There are certainly fome fentences in which these two verbs feem commutable. The verfion, however, fhould here rather have been Brutis ineft. This does not fatisfy us.

82. EvoXos.] This is a common word with the Orators, but is it used by the Attic Poets?

Ariftophanes, Nub. 504.-ins yenooμa.-which paffage, as well as that from Thucydides (qui ad manum non eft), and another from Herodian, VII. are cited by H. Stephens. Yet even for nuns, no tragic authority has met our obfervation. Photius, Lex. MSto. Ἡμιθνήα, τον ήμιθανατον.

86. μag-xgEV. dies præfens.] Should not this be wagov, as in Soph. Εl. 1254. ὁ πας αν πρεποι παρων εννέπειν ταδὲ χρόνος, -et centies alibi.-But Tage is very different in meaning. Euripides, Alc. 645.-αgels any bave ve-relinquens alium, &c. 960. Tages To Mogolμov-prætergreffus fatum.-The foundation of this error appears to have been the paffage in Eschylus, Agamemn. 1093. μEVEL TO DELO SEXI Tage geй, which Mr. Glaffe has chofen for a motto to his tranflation of Samfon.-This line is evidently defective. For Пacs, the readings in the editions are thefe mag' appears in Aldus and Turnebus, and wagov in Robortellus but wage in H. Stephens, which is followed by Stanley, who fays: "forfan debuit fcribi magóv" without mentioning Robortellus; and in Pauw, who re-eccnces, more fuo, açar, and of courte in the Glafgow.-Schutz, the laft editor, gives I'v περ Ev.-Without fettling the reading, we fhall only mention, that age is evidently wrong in Efchylus, and should not have been admitted into Samfon.

87. Пa yev aπeoobs-Ubi aufugifi?-Zow and its compounds are frequently used by Ariftophanes and Menander. Zob. Ar. Avib. 33. Vesp. 211. 1523. Menand. ap. Athen. IX. p. 373. C.* Aπоow. Ar. Ran. 45.

III. 894. retains the old reading, and gives an example of Azosow, neutra fignificatione.-So Etym. Magn. V. ανεσοθεον, fays Σοβω. το τρέχω. —and alfo in V. διασεσοβημε vost.This verbal fragment is in Le Clerc's Index, who adopts, tacitè, Kufter's correction in his tranflation. The reader may

confult Thomas Magifter and Hemfterhufius, in loc. p. 101.This familiar word, however, is not intitled to admiffion into a tragedy. The Scholiaft on the Perfæ of Elchylus, 822. explains Tepe by robagus, a tragic by a common word.

From V. 90. to V. 202. are inferted Choral Odes, partly Monoftrophic, and partly Epodic, with fome intervening Anapeffics. 95. TERAVA NITOPEYvns-Splendore carens Luna.] Mufæus, 238, λιποφεγΓεα νυκίος ομικλην.-Does any Attic Poet ufe λιποφεγίης ? Eurip. Phoen. 557. Νύκλος αφεγίες βλεφαρος.

105. σωματικον φως-Lumen corporeum.] Σωματικος furely is not to be found in the Tragedies, even if it be in any of the Poets. 108. Oleov-lucidum.] Dulevos is not a tragic word, though it may be Attic. H. Stephens brings Paleos aos from Xenophon, but does not mark the place.

109. artgwπivov.] The impropriety of ufing this word in Tragedy was obferved in the note on V. 29. AVOTIN VEVey is a Glof. for auεgi yeva in a Leyden MS. of E. Phoen. 132. the ufual mode of explaining tragic by common words.

112. dweaμ' zçars-Coeli munus-] Awgaua, we imagine, is put for Augnua by Mr. Glaffe, who was probably led into this miftake by recolle&ting ναμα, θοιαμα, θήραμα, πορπαμα, which are derived from verbs of a different conjugation. The Choral Odes, indeed, are compofed in the Doric dialect; but in neuter nouns, terminated in ua, the Tragic writers make no diftinction between the Iambic and Choral verfes, but conftantly preferve the in the penultimate.

It may be true, perhaps, as Markland has obferved, Dorica diale&tus non neceffario, et per omnia, in Choris locum videtur obtinuiffe, in Suppl. 781. yet furely an uniformity was preferved, and ought carefully to be retained by Editors and Tranflators.In V. 112.
