1. See this fable or satire, p. 306-336 of the Leipzig
edition of Julian's works. The French version of the learned
Ezekiel Spanheim (Paris, 1683) is coarse, languid, and
correct; and his notes, proofs, illustrations, etc., are
piled on each other till they form a mass of 557
close-printed quarto pages. The Abbe de la Bleterie (Vie de
Jovien, tom. i. p. 241-393) has more happily expressed the
spirit, as well as the sense, of the original, which he
illustrates with some concise and curious notes.
