_Latin Riddle._--Aulus Gellius (_Noctes Atticæ_, lib. XII. cap. vi.)
proposes the following enigma, which he terms "Per hercle antiquum,
perque lepidum:"
"Semel minusne, an bis minus, non sat scio,
An utrumque eorum, ut quondam audivi dicier
Jovi ipsi regi noluit concedere."
The answer he withholds for the usual reason, "Ut legentium conjecturas
in requirendo acueremus."
Is there among the readers of "N. & Q." an Œdipus who will furnish a
solution?
