1 Since the motor-car has ousted the horse from everyday life, such expressions as ‘kicking over the traces’, ‘acting as a drag’, ‘hackneyed phrases’, and so on lose their freshness, but have a remarkable power of survival, hardly, in my view, benefiting the language.

2 If I have made any incorrect assertions about omissions in this book, I must plead the lack of an index as an extenuating circumstance.

3 The author (50) does not pronounce on the Romano-British horseshoes accepted by Liversidge, J., Britain in the Roman Empire (London, 1968), pp. 399 f.Google Scholar

4 Sophocles, Antig. 140 may be added to the passages cited by Vigneron (121 n. 3), and Jebb's note on this passage is worth reading, as is his comment on Electra 720–2.
