Harvard Studies in Classical Philology. VoL VI. (Ginn and Co.,
Boston, U.S.A.1—This volume contains five papers, all of them dealing with somewhat technical subjects. In the first John Williams White discusses the question whether the Opisthodomus on the Athenian Acropolis was or was not an independent building. The word is rendered in L. and S. by "a back chamber, the inner cell of the old temple of Athena, used as the Treasury." Mr. White's contention is that it was an independent building. The next paper is "A Votive Tablet to Artemis Analtis and Men Tiassus in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts" (John Henry Wright). The third is a brief discussion by William N. Bates on the "Date of Lyoophron," which he settles at 325-265 circa. The fourth deals with the somewhat perplexing spelling and prosody of compounds of iacio (M. W. Mather). Finally, we have "Homeric Quotations in Plato and Aristotle" (George Edwin Howes). This is a matter on which we may expect some new light from the early papyri of Homer that are now being found in Egypt.
