1247-1356. This chapter on the Minotaur is certainly not directly
taken from Ovid.
1311-1314. =“He who was within and wished to get out, entered
further in; and he who was out and wished to get in, found himself
remaining outside in spite of his skill.”
1357-1406. Orosius, I. 14.
1393-1396. =Universam quoque jEgyptum populavissent in pal-
udibus inpediti repellerentur.
1407-1563. Cf. Orosius, I. 15. Wyntoun is fuller in some places,
but the amplification may as well be his own as that of an inter¬
mediate writer.
1467. There is no twenty - fourth chapter in the first book of
Orosius in the printed editions, but the matter referred to is con¬
tained in I. 15.
1481-1497. Cf. “Tunc pace armis quassita externos concubitus
ineunt, editos mares mox enecant, feminas studiose nutriunt, inustis
infantium dexterioribus mamillis ne sagittarum iactus impedirentur;
unde Amazonae dictse.”
1498-1506. =“Harum duae fuere reginae, Marpesia et Lampeto,
quae agmine diviso in duas partes vicissim curam belli et domus
custodiam sortiebantur.”
1564-1568. Cf. Orosius, I. 16. “Plurimas fortissimasque mundi
partes intraverunt, pervagatae sunt, deleverunt, centum pene annis
evertendo urbes plurimas, atque alias constituendo, tenuerunt.”
1569-1656. =Mart. Pol., I. 3. “Depersonis a quibus Roma con-
dita est.”
1654-1656. These lines are not in Martinus, who does not know
the legend of Brutus the founder of Britain.
1657-1684. Antenor . . . Francus. [Neither Martinus nor Dares
nor Dictys can be cited as source for this curious passage.]
