_Table-turning_ (Vol. ix., pp. 39. 88.).--I have not Ammianus Marcellinus
within reach, but, if I am not mistaken, after the table had been got into
motion, the oracle was actually given by means of a ring. This being held
over, suspended by a thread, oscillated or leaped from one to another of
the letters of the alphabet which were engraved on the edge of the table,
or that which covered it. The passage would not occupy many lines, and I
think that many readers of "N. & Q." would be interested if some one of its
learned correspondents would furnish a copy of it, with a close English
translation.
