¹ H. Jacobi in *Ἀντιδωρον*, *Festschrift Wackernagel* 1923 pp. 127 sqq. ² Jacobi *op. cit.*; A. B. Keith, *A history of Sanscrit Literature* 1928 pp. 32–3. ³ Keith *op. cit.* pp. 370–1. ⁴ Plut. *de Alex. fortuna aut virtute* 328 c. The whole passage, of which other items are noticed where they belong, attributes to Alexander in the usual way things which happened later. Plutarch no doubt would have said that they were due to his original impulse. ⁵ The most amazing instance is that the well-informed Strabo (xvi, 760–1) had never even heard that Jews possessed a great literature, though the Greek Septuagint translation was available to him. ⁶ Raychaudhuri’s translation (next note). L. D. Barnett, *JRAS* 1909 p. 1093, rendered it ‘Selfrestraint, selfsurrender, and diligence’.
