This has been taken for the ovv^ of Diosc. ii. 10 (see the comment of Matthiolus, trans. by Pinet, Lyons 1572), though Fuchs thought othei-wise (Nic. Myreps. ed. Fuchs. 1549, p. 3. 1.13). Fuchs's note is, 'ossis anterioris etc. Intelligit id quod Actuario et aliis posterioribus Grtecis Blattium Byzantium et bysantis dicitur.
