He calls the vulgate reading

pointless, adding, ' If I were forced to give
some meaning to these words, I would rather
take aerarii in the sense of ' bribed,' as nummarii in ? 8, 'deserving only too well their
ordinary name of aerarii, though in a very
different sense.'
The emendation involves a violent change
of order. Is it not possible to take the
vulgate as Tyrrell suggests, but with a
definite allusion to the aerarium? ' Not so
much bribed, as animated treasuries, deserving their official title': i.e. they were so
heavily bribed as to be walking moneyboxes, literally stuffed with money.
M. E. HIRST.

NOTE

ON KAI OY.

Strictly speaking, o'8' (in the sense of

'and not') adds a negative to a negative,
whereas Ka0 o' adds a negative to a positive. When a negative phrase repeats for
the sake of emphasis what has just been
expressed positively, it is introduced by
not by o08~, nor yet by iaXXAov
Kal
o0,
(which introduces, not a repetition, but a
strong contrast). This appears to be by far
the most common use of KafLoHomer, Od. II. 61, XEvyaXEoL 7'?Eo-oKLt oV

made nonsense.
There are cases of oB'8 where KafLoV
might have been used, but a distinction is
usually to be observed. Thus:

Here OV8Eadds something fresh; it does
not merely repeat.

exactly equivalent to Kt o .
