Note 125 — ITER DUMNONIENSE. VI.
Reading edition
Asclepiades says Boreas, a king of the Celts, planted an unknown tree on the tumulus of his daughter Cyparissa; whence the name of it, and its funeral use. Trees planted on Protesilaus’s sepulchre, Pliny, XVI. 44. So an oak on Illus’s tumulus, ibid. so on the tomb of Amycus king of the Bebrycians, ibid.
