^{page 44 note 8} There is no reason to suppose that the frequent appearanceof the Treb- laces mentioned above makes it probable that there once existed a religious and political centre of these places. *Treb- belongs to Lat. trabs, Osc. triibum = domum, aedificium, trbiiarakavύm = aedificare, Umbr. tremnu = tabernaculo, trebeit = versatur, 0. Welsh treb = ‘dwelling’, 0. Irish atreba = ‘he lodges’, Cymr. alhref – ‘dwelling’, Lith. troba = ‘building’, O.E. porp, perp, O.H.G. dorf = ‘village’ (Walde, Etymolog. Woerterb. s.v.‘trabs’). It is quite natural that this *treb- = ‘house’, ‘dwelling’, ‘village’ occurs also as a place-name. Cf. the place-names Haus (Meyer's Orts- u. Verkehrslex. d. deutschen Reichs⁵, s.v. ‘Haus’), Neuhaus (I.e., s.h.v.), Husen, Switzerland; cf. also the place-names Trebra, Drever, Drebber, which belong to O.E. porp, O.H.G. dorf (Schroeder, E., Nachrichlen v. d. kgl.

Wissowa, , Gesammelte Abhandlungen, 125Google Scholar; Thulin, , Die Goetter des Martianus Capella, 82 f.Google Scholar; Kroll, in Pauly-Wissowa's, R.E. s.v. ‘Nigidius’ 202, 204, 210Google Scholar; Wessner, in Pauly-Wissowa's, R.E. s.v. ‘Martianu sCapella’ 2008)Google Scholar.

^{page 47 note 3} A. Swoboda in his edition of Nigidius Figulus 89: …‘ cum antecedant Fons et Lym-phae, ei opinioni favet quam Arnobius I.e. his verbisrefert: hos Granius Musaeputat consensum adcommodans Aelio (cf. Camenae), qui proprie erant fontium deae’. Swoboda goes too far in strictly identifying the novensiles of Martianus Capella's report with the Musae, but the nucleus of his view is sound, since the Musae werewater-deities (Nilsson, , Griechische Feste, 441Google Scholar; Kern, , Religion d. Griechen, i. 208Google Scholar; Rose, , A Handbook of Greek Mythology, 173Google Scholar; Preller, , Roemische Mythologie ³, i. 103)Google Scholar; the incorrect identification: Novensiles-Musae is due to the fact that noven-in novensiles was erroneously considered to be identical with the numeral novem.

^{page 47 note 4} It seems worth mentioning that Fons, Lymphae, Diique Novensiles form a triad of water-deities, comparable to the triad of such gods in the Carthaginian oath-ritual (Usener, , Rheinisch.es Museum, 1903, 18)Google Scholarand to the triad: deos marinos,jontanos, fluviales, Aug. Civ. 3. 12, p. no, 7 D.–Martianus Capella mentions water-deities also in the 10th region: Neptune autem, Lar omnium cunclalis, ac Neverila tuque Conse ex decima convenistis. For Consus = Neptunus equester cf. Weinstock, , Pauly-Wissowa's, R.E. s.v. ‘Neptunus’, 2524Google Scholar; Wissowa in Roscher's Lexikon s.v. ‘Consus’. We do not know anything about Lar omnium cunctalis and Neverita (Reuerita Kopp; Nerina Grot.; Nerita ed. pr.), but as these names are put between Neptunus and Consus (= Neptunus equester), it is arguable that the Lar omnium cunctalis and Neverita are water-deities too. I propose the emendation Lar omnium cunctalis instead of Lar omnium cun-ctalis (cf. Mart. Cap. ed. Dick, 1. 15 (p. 13,1. 8) amne ed., omnis A¹; 5. 536 (p. 267) aratori L, oratori rell.; 1. 36 (p. 23, 1. 2): barbito ed., barbita. A; 1. 61 (p. 29, 1. 10) Azonos ed., azonns B¹D; 1. 68 (p. 32, 1. 12) cunctarumqueed., cunctarumque A l b m v; 1. 91 (p.38,1. 13) astrigeri ed., ostrigeri b y²). The corruption omnium, in my opinion, was caused by the fact that cunctus and omnis are often bound together (cf. TLL, s.v. ‘cunctus’ 1396, 11. 58, 1397, 11. 21 ff., 75 ff., 1398, 1. 34, 1399,11. 39 ff., 45)Google Scholar. I venture the equation: Lar amnium cunctalis = Okeanos, since all streams, rivers, brooks, sources, and the whole sea flow out of him (II. 21, 195 ff.; cf. Herter, in Pauly-Wissowa's, R.E. s.v. ‘Okeanos’, 2352Google Scholar; Schwenn, Friedr., Die Theogonie des Hesiod, 95)Google Scholarand since Lar was later a general term applied to deities of different kind (Wissowa, , Gesammelte Abhandlungen, 134)Google Scholar. Neverita mentioned immediately behind Lar omnium cunctalis may be a corrupted form meaning Νηρίτης, the grandson of Okeanos (Eitrem in Pauly-Wissowa's R.E. s.v. Νηρίτης), latinized probably Nerita, since nerita was the Latin equivalent of Gr. νηρίτης = concha marina, into which the grandson of Okeanos was transformed. I suggest that the first phase of corruptionwas the dittography nenerita instead of nerita (cf. Capella, Martianus ed. Dick, , 1Google Scholar. 25, p. 18,1.12 ut terque ed., ut uterque β a; 3. 298, p. 123 1. 15 ut tertia ed., ut utrium M), the second the erroneous spelling neueritainstead of nenerita. The mistake in writing u instead of n is very frequent (cf. 3. 241, p. 90,1.4 levdter ed., leviler b.) A similar line was taken by Preller-Jordan, , Roemische Mythologie, ii. 121 (‘Der Name wahrscheinlich verderbt; vielleicht ein weiblicher ex Nereus’)Google Scholarand Thulin, Die Goetter, etc., 4 (‘Koennte Neverita vielleicht eine etruskische Umgestaltung von Amphitrite sein?’). It is possible that nerita was imported not directly from Greece but indirectly (cf. sporta, gromd) from Etruria. Cf. ‘Ορέστης, Etr. urste, Φιλοκτήτες, Etr. Φελίυθε with the loss of the terminal -s.

^{page 48 note 6} Walde-Hofmann s.v. ‘lingua’; Ernout-Meillet² s.v. ‘lingua’ assert that lingua is a dialect-form, the reception of which was facilitated by a popular etymology, which connected the word with lingere. In my opinion in this and other cases it is not necessary to assume that the form is an imported one. These cases belong to the phenomenon of assimilation of consonants within the frame of a phrase ora sentence or a word-series (e.g. the numerals).

^{page 52 note 2} Though it is not an argument in favour of our explanation of the di novensides and the di indigetes, it fits best into the frame of this explanation when we hear about the wrath of the di novensides and the di indigetes and the possibility of propitiating them. The phrase pesco pacre of the noveWe-inscription (Conway) 261, seems to mean 'sacrificium paciferum’ (Planta, ii. 543). On the other hand, we are told by our oldest source for the di indigetes, Ennius ap. Diomed. p. 476. 17 (cf. Rose, , Handbook of Roman Literature, 8)Google Scholar: Numa Pompilius rex fertur spondeo melo patrios placasse indigetes (cf. e.g. , Ov.Fast. 4. 759Google Scholar: tua, dea, pro nobis fontes fontanaque placa numind). For wrath and reconciliation of water-deities cf. the literature quoted in p. 47, n. 9.—It fits also best into the frame of ourexplanation of indigetes, that Lucan 1. 556 f. (perhaps using old sources), mentions weeping indigetes: indigetes flevisse dcos, urbisque laborem testatos sudore Lares, obviously indigetes-statues with water-dropping eyes. Weeping water-deities occur frequently in our sources; cf. e.g. , Ov.Met. 2. 238Google Scholar: turn nymphae passis fonlesque lacusque deflevere comis; Herter, I.e. 1553 ff.

^{page 52 note 8} These remarks must of course not be considered a denial ofany relation between the sun and the depths of the earth. According to primitive thinking the sun comes from the depths and descends to them. So many suppose, e.g., that Tammuz was an ancient personification of the sun of springtime, his name consisting of a Sumerian phrase Dumu-Zi = ‘true (or faithful) son of the deep’, but in spite of all that one must not characterize the nature of the sun by using the phrase ‘dwelling in the depths of the earth’.
