the rudiments of the material life of man.
2. That in the higher region of the mind, of religion, and of advanced
polity, this correspondence wholly fails.
3. That the Græco-Italic agrees with the Sanscrit down to the pastoral
stage of society only, and ceases with the commencement of the
agricultural and settled stage.
4. That the abstract genius of the Roman religion bears a relation
to the Greek anthropophuism, like that of the full-formed Indian
mythology to the metaphysical scheme of the Zendavesta.
He appears to me to cast the balance overmuch on the Roman side: but
his statement will well repay an attentive consideration.
He supplies the following words, which I would add to the lists I have
given above. They generally corroborate the conclusions at which I have
arrived.
χόρτος hortus.
κέγχρος cicer.
μελίνη milium.
πολτὸς puls.
μύλη mola.
ἄξων } axis.
ἄμ-αξα }
ποίνη pœna.
κρίνω, κρίμα crimen.
ταλάω talio.
χίτων tunica.
And, belonging to the higher domain--
σκύτος scutum (with an alteration, or
progression of sense).
λόγχη lancea.
τέμενος templum.
Among these, the relationship of τέμενος and templum seems to require
further proof.
I have to add the word κῆλον, which seems to be in nearer
correspondence than βέλος is with _telum_. On the other side, I may
note ἄορ, for _a sword_, and ὄχος, ὄχημα, for _a chariot_, as among the
words not in correspondence.
P. 311. Add Φείδιππος. Il. ii. 768.
P. 313. The statement as to the persons slain by Hector and Mars is
inaccurate. The seven first names are, so far as the text informs us,
undistinguished, except Teuthras, who is called ἀντίθεος; and among
these seven we have no name, which is clearly of Hellic etymology.
But the nine others belong to a different part of the action (Il. xi.
301-4), and are expressly called ἡγεμόνες (or officers, Il. ii. 365):
and among these, while we have four names of Hellic complexion, Dolops
and Opheltius are the only two which can be positively assigned to the
Pelasgian class.
P. 380. While I have stated the second sense of the word Ἄργος
according to what appears to me to be the balance of the evidence, I
admit it to be a doubtful point whether we ought rather, with Strabo
(p. 365), to understand it preferably as capable of meaning the entire
Peloponnesus.
