Note 54 — Chapter I
W. (William) Falconer translation
Homer says,
——τῇ πλεῖστα φέρει ζείδωρος ἄρουρα Φάρμακα. Odyssey iv. 229.
Which Cowper properly renders:—
“Egypt teems with drugs of various powers.”
Strabo, by omitting the word φάρμακα from his citation, alters to a certain degree the meaning of the sentence.
