Amongst the pupils of Varsha was a Brahman named Pânini,
a fellow of remarkable dulness, and so incapable of learning
that he was at last expelled from the classes. Deeply sensi-
ble of this disgrace, he had recourse to devotion; and setting
off to the snowy mountains, propitiated Śiva by a course of
severe austerities, in consequence of which the god commu-
nicated to him the system of grammar which bears his name.
Returning in triumph, he challenged me to a public disputa-
tion, and we argued on an equality for seven days; on the
eighth the discussion was interrupted by a hideous noise,
which disconcerted me and my abettors, and left Pânini
without a competitor. From this time his grammar sup-
planted mine and Indra's and all others, and we were com-
pelled to acknowledge his superiority.

Αλλ ̓ οἶμαι, οὔτε Φρυνώδας οὔτε Ευρύβατος οὔτ ̓ ἄλλος οὐδεὶς πώποτε τῶν πάλαι πονηρῶν τοιοῦτος μάγος καὶ γόης ἐγένετο, ὅς, ὦ γῆ καὶ θεοὶ καὶ δαίμονες, καὶ ἄνθρωποι ὅσοι βούλεσθε ἀκούειν τἀληθῆ, τολμᾷ λέγειν

βλέπων εἰς τὰ πρόσωπα τὰ ὑμέτερα, ὡς ἂρα Θηβαῖοι τὴν συμμαχίαν ἡμῖ, ἐποιήσαντο οὐ διὰ τὸν καιρόν, οὐ διὰ τὸν φόβον τὸν περιστάντα αὐτούς, οὐ διὰ τήν ὑμετέραν δόξαν, ἀλλὰ διὰ τὰς Δημοσθένους δημηγορίας. καίτοι πολλὰς μὲν πρότερον πρεσβείας ἐπρέσβευσαν εἰς Θήβας οἱ μάλιστα οἰκείως ἐκείνοις διακείμενοι, πρῶτος μὲν Θρασύβουλος ὁ Κολλυτεύς, ἀνὴρ ἐν Θήβαις πιστευθεὶς ὡς οὐδεὶς ἕτερος, πάλιν Θράσων ὁ Ἐρχιεύς, πρόξενος ὢν Θηβαίοις, Λεωδάμας ὁ Αχαρεύς, οὐχ ἧττον Δημοσθένους λέγειν δυνάμενος ἀλλ ̓ ἔμοιγε καὶ ἡδίων, ̓Αρχέδημος ὁ Πήληξ, καὶ δυνατὸς εἰπεῖν καὶ πολλὰ κεκδινδυνευκὼς ἐν τῇ πολιτείᾳ διὰ Θηβαίους, ̓Αριστοφῶν ὁ ̓Αζηνιεύς, πλεῖστον χρόνον τὴν του βοιωτιάζειν ὑπομείνας αἰτίαν, Πόρρανδρος ὁ ̓Αναφλύστιος, ὃς ἔτι καὶ νῦν ζῇ. ἀλλ ̓ ὅμως οὐδεὶς πώποτε αὐτοὺς ἐδυνήθη προτέψασθαι εἰς τήν ὑμετέραν φιλίαν. τὸ δ ̓ αἴτιον οἶδα μεν, λέγειν δ' οὐδὲν δέομαι διὰ τὰς ἀτυχίας αὐτῶν.

Π. Translate the passages (a) (b) (c) giving the different meanings of πρέπω, and trace their connexion with the Homeric use of the word.

(ε) οἶμαι βοὴν ἄμικτον ἐν πόλει πρέπειν.

In (d) the text was originally στρωματοφθορεῖν which has been amended to σωματοφθορείν, δωματοφθορέιν, ἑιματοφθ ορειν; which do you prefer ? state your reasons.

πολλὴ γὰρ αἰδώς, σωματοφθορεῖν ποσὶν

φθέιροντα πλοῦτον, ἀργυρωνήτους θ ̓ ὑφας·

V. Write the following passage in prose order, substituting other words for those which occur only in poetry.

νόστου, δικαίων θ ̓ ὧν ἐπραξάμην πόλιν
Πριάμου. δίκας γὰρ οὐκ ἀπὸ γλώσσης θεοὶ
κλύοντες, ἀνδροθνῆτας Ιλίου φθορὰς
ἐς αἱματηρὸν τεῦχος οὐ διχοῤῥόπως
ψήφους ἔθεντο τῷ δ ̓ ἐναντίῳ κύτει
ἐλπὶς προσῄει χειρὸς οὐ πληρουμένῳ·
καπνῷ δ ̓ ἁλοῦσα νῦν ἔτ ̓ εὔσημος πόλις.
ἄτης θύελλαι ζῶσι· συνθνήσκουσα δὲ
σποδὸς προπέμπει πίονας πλούτου πνοάς·
