an encyclopaedia of miscellaneous topics in the form of a
     dialogue.  His date is c. 230 A.D.
(52) There is a fancied connection between LAAS (`stone’) and
     LAOS (`people’).  The reference is to the stones which
     Deucalion and Pyrrha transformed into men and women after
     the Flood.
(53) Eustathius identifies Ileus with Oileus, father of Aias. 
     Here again is fanciful etymology, ILEUS being similar to
     ILEOS (complaisant, gracious).
(54) Imitated by Vergil, “Aeneid” vii. 808, describing Camilla.
(55) c. 600 A.D., a lecturer and grammarian of Constantinople.
(56) Priest of Apollo, and, according to Homer, discoverer of
     wine.  Maronea in Thrace is said to have been called after
     him.
(57) The crow was originally white, but was turned black by
     Apollo in his anger at the news brought by the bird.
(58) A philosopher of Athens under Hadrian and Antonius.  He
     became a Christian and wrote a defence of the Christians
     addressed to Antoninus Pius.
(59) Zeus slew Asclepus (fr. 90) because of his success as a
     healer, and Apollo in revenge killed the Cyclopes (fr. 64). 
     In punishment Apollo was forced to serve Admetus as
     herdsman. (Cp.  Euripides, “Alcestis”, 1-8)
(60) For Cyrene and Aristaeus, cp.  Vergil, “Georgics”, iv. 315
     ff.
(61) A writer on mythology of uncertain date.
(62) In Epirus.  The oracle was first consulted by Deucalion and
     Pyrrha after the Flood.  Later writers say that the god
     responded in the rustling of leaves in the oaks for which
     the place was famous.
(63) The fragment is part of a leaf from a papyrus book of the
     4th century A.D.
(64) According to Homer and later writers Meleager wasted away
     when his mother Althea burned the brand on which his life
     depended, because he had slain her brothers in the dispute
     for the hide of the Calydonian boar. (Cp.  Bacchylides,
     “Ode” v. 136 ff.)
(65) The fragment probably belongs to the “Catalogues” proper
     rather than to the Eoiae; but, as its position is uncertain,
     it may conveniently be associated with Frags. 99A and the
     “Shield of Heracles”.
(66) Most of the smaller restorations appear in the original
     publication, but the larger are new:  these last are highly
     conjectual, there being no definite clue to the general
     sense.
(67) Alcmaon (who took part in the second of the two heroic
     Theban expeditions) is perhaps mentioned only incidentally
     as the son of Amphiaraus, who seems to be clearly indicated
     in ll. 7-8, and whose story occupies ll. 5-10.  At l. 11 the
     subject changes and Electryon is introduced as father of
     Alcmena.
(68) The association of ll. 1-16 with ll. 17-24 is presumed from
     the apparent mention of Erichthonius in l. 19.  A new
     section must then begin at l. 21.  See “Ox.  Pap.” pt. xi. p.
     55 (and for restoration of ll. 5-16, ib. p. 53). ll. 19-20
     are restored by the Translator.
