v1.c8.31
² Bloomfield (*Religion of the Veda*, p. 20) prefers 2000 B. C. for the beginnings. But in *Rig-Veda Repetitions* (pp. 20, 21) he stresses the absence of archetype hymns and the epigonal character of the collection (cf. *JAOS.* xxix. 287), and in the earlier work he accepts 1600 B. C. in lieu of 1400 B. C. as the Mitanni date.
