[Footnote 306: In Greece, where there were no permanent family names,
it was usual for a family to repeat the same name in alternate

alternately Battus and Archelaus for eight generations, and many other
examples might be quoted.]
[Footnote 307: The Greek lamp was movable, and used to be set upon a
tall slender lamp-stand or candelabrum.]

[Footnote 310: It has been conjectured from certain inscriptions that
this name should be spelt Apsephion. But we know that Aphepsion was a
Greek name, while the other form appears unmeaning. The passage is
quoted in Clinton, 'Fasti Hell.,' but both forms are there used.]
[Footnote 311: The daric was a Persian coin, named after King Darius.]
[Footnote 312: The Kyanean or Black Islands were at the junction of
the Bosporus with the Euxine, or Black Sea. The Chelidonian or Swallow
Islands were on the south coast of Lycia.]
[Footnote 313: The office of _proxenus_ corresponds most nearly to the
modern consul. He was bound to offer hospitality and assistance to any
persons of the state which he represented; but it must be remembered
that he was always a member of a foreign state.]
