page 150 note 2 Professor Postgate prints no translations of his own from the Greek (apart from a single couplet). Had he done so, it would have been interesting to see if an audience innocent of the classics could distinguish them from those with Latin originals.
page 150 note 3 Cp. J. A. K. Thomson, ‘Some Thoughts on Translation’ in The Greek Tradition: ‘The translator's language, if it is to be English poetry at all, will be fuller, more coloured, more personal in the turn of its expression than the Greek.’ A review, ‘The Art of Translation,’ in Times Lit. Supp., February 16, 1922, applies similar principles to the translation of oratorical prose.

page 152 note 3 Croiset, , Hist. Lit. Grec. 1., p. 22Google Scholar, compares πε-ρι-ε-φε-ρε, cir-cum-fe-re-bat. Professor Postgate l.c., p. 86, points out that to a Roman the metrical effect of four closed syllables, as in the English dis-in-her-it (for di-si-nhe-rit), would have been ―.
