Note 148 — Chapter III · THE SANCTUARIES THAT ARE OUTSIDE THE CITADEL.
Reading edition
Prof. Dörpfeld draws attention (Rhein. Mus. LI. p. 134) to the analogous case of Torone, which Thucydides (IV. 110) describes thus: οὔσης τῆς πόλεως πρὸς λόφον—‘was nach dem Zusammenhang nicht nach dem Hügel hin sondern nur an dem Hügel hinauf bedeutet.’ But it must carefully be noted that as Dr Verrall (Class. Rev. 1900, p. 278) observes, the notion of ascent is given not by πρός but by λόφον. The analogy is one of fact, not of the verbal description of that fact.
