Note 72 — FROM CRITO, IN HIS TREATISE ON PRUDENCE AND PROSPERITY.

In the Greek επῳδας; on which Gale observes, “Forte αμαθιας, nisi aliud subsit mysterium.” But it appears to me that there is no occasion to substitute any other word for επῳδας. For in the education of youth, it is certainly requisite to unite allurement with erudition. And the substitution of αμαθιας, ignorance, is monstrous.
