Note 67 — Chapter III
Reading edition
Hor. Od. iii. 4, 62: Delius aut Patareus Apollo. Stat. Theb. i. 696:
... Seu te Lyciæ Pataræa nivosis
Exercent dumeta jugis.
Virg. Æn. iv. 143:
Qualis ubi hibernam Lyciam Xanthique fluenta
Deserit, ac Delum maternam invisit Apollo.
On which passage Servius makes the remark that the oracles were delivered alternately,—during the winter months at Patara, and during the summer at Delos.
