P. 212, 1. 16. nor pound him in a mortar who offendeth thee] Anaxarchus was killed in this manner by Nicocreon, King of Cyprus. (Diogenes Laërtius, Vit. Philos. ix. 10 § 59.) P. 213, 1. 4. like Homerican Mars] "Tu miser exclamas, ut Stentora vincere possis, (Note in E.) Il. v. 858. Vel potius quantum Gradivus Homericus." P. 213, 1. 6.

Olybius his urn] "which after many hundred years was found burning under ground, and went out as soon as the air came to it." (Note in E.) This story is mentioned also in the Pseud. Epid. iii. 21, vol. i. p. 327, ed. Bohn. For a curious discussion on these marvellous lamps, see Ozanam's Philosophical Recreations, by Hatton, vol. i. p. 496 (Wilkin).

P. 222, 1. 2. about the sixtieth part of Time] What this exactly means is not quite clear, though none of the previous editors have thought it necessary to explain the expression. It seems to agree in a rough way with the "seventy or eighty years mentioned at the beginning of this section; and Sir T. B. says (p. 314, 1. 23), "I have not seen the sixtieth part of Time," when he was probably not quite seventy years old, But even eighty years multiplied by sixty only comes to 4,800, and this is far too short a period to have been assigned either to "Time," or to our Earth, even in the seventeenth century. Upon the whole it seems probable that Sir T. B. was thinking of the six thousand years, which he has mentioned several times before (see Note on p. 72, 1. 27); but if so, it would have been more accurate to call a man's life "about the eightieth part of Time" than the "sixtieth." There is a similar expression below, p. 230, l. 17, &c. P. 222, 1. 27.
