Sinopsis
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ... of thirty youths who died within a year. In Festus there are still twelve families but they die within thirty days, while nothing is said about the number of youths. An interesting perversion of numbers thus occurs. It is not probable, however, that it is a case of simple confusion. It is more likely that Festus's notice is due to another source. Festus, as is well agreed,1 abridged the work of Verrius Flaccus who besides using the annalists is indebted to Varro as well." The fact that the twelve families die within thirty days and that the amount of the bribe is definitely put at quinquaginta millia aeris gravis, a detail noted only here and in the probable reconstruction of another identical passage in Festus, M. p. 217 = Ponor, p. 270/ may point to Antias, the arithmophile, as the ultimate source for the version found in Festus. Almost identical with it to a point of verbal similarity is the notice in the Origo Gentis Eomanae: Potitium et Pinarium Her-Isque mos (the tithing men cules, cum ad aram, quae tioned and the presence of hodieque maxima appellatur, the Potitii at the feast) per decimam boum, quos a Ger-mansit usque Appium Claud yone abductos abigebat Ar-ium Censorem.... verum gos in patriam, profanasset, postea Appius Claudius ac genus sacriflci edocuit. quae cepta pecunia Potitios illexit, familia et posteri eius non ut administrationem sacro defuerunt decumantibus us-rum Herculis servos publicos que ad Appium Claudium edocerent....
