Note 1059 — Chapter XCVIII · OUTLYING HELLENIC CITIES.
Reading edition
Livy, xxxiv. 8; Strabo. iii. p. 160. At Massalia, it is said that no armed stranger was ever allowed to enter the city, without depositing his arms at the gate (Justin, xliii. 4).
This precaution seems to have been adopted in other cities also: see Æneas, Poliorket. c. 30.
