19/157 There is something incorrect in the language of the original here. In my version I have followed Drakenborch. Walker, in his edition, proposes to read _ut_ for _et_; thus, _quibus ut apparitores et hoc genus ab Etruscis -- -- numerum quoque ipsum ductum placet, "who will have it, that as public servants of this kind, so was their number also, derived from the Etrurians_."] [Footnote 15: The population at that time consisted of not more than 3,000 foot, and less than 300 horse. At the death of Romulus, it is said to have amounted to 46,000 foot and almost 1,000 horse.] [Footnote 16: [Greek: to metaxy chorion tou te Kapitoliou kai tes akras ho kaleitai nyn kata ten Rhomaion dialekton methorion dyoin drymon]. 15.] [Footnote 17: _Ex industria_--_dedita opera_--[Greek: apo paraskeues].] 9. |
