Note 1195 — Chapter XV · CONCLUSION.
F. J. Fielden translation
Fotheringham in his interesting paper on Cleostratus (Journ. of Hell. Studies, 39, 1919, 177) tries to explain this alternation by the intercalation; if a month was intercalated the games would be transferred from Parthenios to Apollonios. This is in my opinion impossible. The Greek feasts were bound up with the months, which were named from some of them; this association prevented a feast from being transferred to a month with another name, i. e. the feast was fixed with reference to the name of the month, not to its number.
