Excerpt from The Idylls and Epigrams Commonly Attributed to Theocritus: With English Notes IN the present Edition a good deal of matter has been added to the Notes and to the Introduction and passages from the newly-discovered Mimiambics of Herodas have been quoted, wherever such illustration appears interesting. References have been carefully verified. Several passages however are still left, whose interpretation is very uncertain: nor can we expect any clearer light to be thrown on these until a more systematic examination and collation of the existing mss. Shall have been made. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
