page 287 note 1 Darmesteter Zend-Avesta I p. lxiii ‘The same myth in the Vedas was described as a feat of Traitana or Trita Âptya, ‘Trita, the son of waters,’ who is both in the Vedas and in the Avesta a name of the fire-god, as born from the cloud in the lightning. The same tale is told in the same terms in the Avesta: Thraêtona Âthwya killed the fiendish snake…’ There surely you have the origin of Ἀθνη, which is merely a feminine form like Σελν, Ἀλκμνη (C.R.1901 p. 402), and of 
, (and Τιθρώνη?): she is the feminine this Trita or Thrita (who in many respects corresponds to Apollo, see ib. p. 219). For αἰγς and αἰχμ, which as the ‘spear’ remained Athene's attribute, see ib. p. lxvii.—cf. Ebeling, Lex. Hom. s.v. Ηριτογνεια.

page 291 note 2 The MSS. vary between δμων and δμον and are otherwise corrupt: I suspect δ' εἶσι was a misreading of ἔξεισι (cf. Agam. 1189,1564, 1570, Med. 1248), and οὐκ an insertion to make sense; if, that is, the meaning was ‘the Erinys will leave the house’; if it was ‘will not come to the house’ we must read δμους or δμους. The MSS. of the three popular school-plays, the Prometheus, Persae, and Seven against Thebes, are not all derived from the Medicean.

page 292 note 2 Those who will refer to Poll. ii. 172–3, Greg. Cor. p. 548, Soph. fr. 539, Cobet V.L. 135, N.L. 310, Blaydes Acharn. 217 will see that the true reading may be μφἰπλικτοι: it is the same word I suppose originally (Lat. plico), though the senses often as in 
‘the fork,’ correspond to those of the English split.

page 294 note 1 φσκειν in Soph. El. 9, O.T. 462, Phil. 1411, is Ionic for νμιζε or δκει.
page 295 note 1 This I had from Dr. Henry Jackson years ago, who had it as he told me from Shilleto, who derived it probably from Heimaun; see the quotation from him in Greg. Cor. p. 864.—In Latin Comedy, translating Greek, ne with the present imperative is not uncommon, ne fle, ne plora for 
but I fancy Latin normally preferred to say noli flere.—In Herodas iv. 52 our choice is therefore limited to 
(W. R. Paton) or καρδιηβολε.
