Note 81 — Chapter IV
Reading edition
Remark that some vicious sections evidently owed their origin to the copyist knowing more of Latin than of Greek.
True, that the compounds euronotus euroauster exist in Latin. That is the reason why the Latin translator (not understanding the word) rendered it Euroaquilo: instead of writing Euraquilo.
I have no doubt that it was some Latin copyist who began the mischief. Like the man who wrote επ' αυτω τω φορω for επ' αυτοφωρω.
