iii. 429 the manalis lapis. F. Bomer 'Der sogenannte lapis manalis' in the Archiv
f. Rel. 1936 xxxiii. 270—281 discusses previous interpretations of this ' Regenstein,'
rejecting both the derivation from manure and that from Manes. He starts afresh from
the authoritative statements of Varro {supra p. 435 n. 2) and contends that aquae manale
meant a 1 Handkrug fiir Wasser,' being derived from mdnus (cp. id. ' Lat. aquae viauale'
in Glotla 1937 xxvi. 1—7); that manalis lapis—originally termed manale sacrum—was a
sacred water-pot, probably a hollow stone of pot-like formation used for ritual purposes
(so O. Gilbert Gescliichle und Topographic der Stadt Rom im Allertum Leipzig iSSji ii.
154 n. 1); and that later this manalis lapis was confused with the lapis Manalis or 'stone
of the Manes,' Festus' ostium Orci {supra p. 432 n. 4). Bomer sums up: 'Das Instru
ment des rdmischen Regenzaubers war ein manale sacrum, ein heiliges Wassergefass;
der wirkliche lapis manalis, der Stein der Manen, steht mit dem Regen in keiner
Verbindung. Einen lapis manalis als Regenstein, an den man bisher glaubte, hat es
nie gegeben. Er ist eine etymologische Konstruktion der Antiquare.'

iii. 434 f. the manalcs petrae. T. F. G. Dexter The Sacred Stone Perranporth (1929)
p. 27 no. 51 cites from Morris Celtic Researches a 'Maen Glow' or " Rain Stone," " which
they rolled about when they wanted rain," and compares the Lapis Manalis at Rome.

iii. 475 f. the birth of Montezuma. Cp. E. S. Hartland Primitive Paternity London
1909 i. ir 'A pearl fell into the bosom of a girl and she swallowed it, as the Chinese
tell, with the result that a boy was born (according to one version, from her breast) who
afterwards became the great emperor Yu.'

iii. 538 n. o pi. xliv. F. Lenormant 'Jupiter /Egiochus, camee sur chrysoprase' in the
Gaz. Arch. 1875 i. 95—99 pi. 13 published a very large cameo from the Northwick
collection (then owned by Feuardent), a chrysoprase in the Asia Minor style of Marcus
Aurelius and Commodus. Its subject is a facing Zeus, almost exactly like that of my
malachite relief, but coarser in effect and without acorns on the oak-wreath.

iii. 564 ff. 'ox-driving.' F. Cumont 'St. George and Mithra "The Cattle-Thief"
in the Journ. Rom. Stud. 1937 xxvii. 63—71 notes that at the monastery of Ilori in
Mingrelia, as late as c. 1850 A.D., 'every year on the Festival of St. George, to whom
the church of the monastery was dedicated, an ox mysteriously entered the building
ready for sacrifice.' Cumont argues that St George has here replaced Mithras the fiov-
k\6tos 6e6s (Porph. de antr. nymph. 18).

iii. 573 Zeus Polieus and altar. (Mrs) J. P. Shear in Hesperia 1936 v. 316 with
fig. 22, 6—8 says: 'Is it not possible to connect this type [my figs. 399—402] with the
greatest of the Athenian festivals of Zeus, the Diasia, which was of a propitiatory
character?' Ead.ib. p. 301 with fig. 11, 1—2 [my fig. 548] would recognise the altar
of Zeus Polias [sic!] and associate it with the Dipoleia. She gives the same explanation
of the bucraniuin-type (her pi. 5, 1—29).

iii. 580 n. o with fig. 404. See now C. Watzinger in Furtwangler—Reichhold—
Hauser Gr. Vasenmalerei iii. 343 ff. fig. 163 and pi. 175.

iii. 623 n. 1 with fig. 423. The design on these glass plaques is drawn (rather
unsuccessfully) to a larger scale by W. Technau in the Jahrb. d. Dcutsch. Arch. Inst.
1937 Iii. 98 f. fig. 12.

iii. 634 n. 2. E. C. Yorke in the Class. Quart. 1936 xxx. 153 f. maintains that the
Prometheus Bound, ' if Aeschylus was its author,' must have been the latest of his extant
plays, to be dated between 458 and 456 B.C. Prof. D. S. Robertson in the Cam-
bridge University Reporter 1938 lxix. 387 reviews recent opinions and argues from the
'Sophoclean features' of the play for 'the latest possible date.' He even suggests that
'Aeschylus left the Prometheus trilogy incomplete' and that some of the odes may have
been ' supplied by one of his sons, Euphorion and Euaion, or by his nephew Philocles,
all tragic poets.'

iii. 655 n. o with figs. 464—469. My conjecture that the head on these coins repre-
sents Zeus dlbios can, I find, claim the support of A. Reinach, who in the Revue
