Note 2 — Chapter I · THE KING OF THE WOOD
Reading edition
Cato, loc. cit.; Ovid, Fasti, vi. 756; Statius, Sylvae, iii. 1. 56; Philostratus, Vit. Apollon. iv. 36. A loose expression of Appian (Bellum Civile, v. 24) has sometimes given rise to the notion that there was a town called Nemus. But this is a mistake. See E. Desjardins, Essai sur la Topographie du Latium (Paris, 1854), p. 214, and on the other side, A. Bormann, Altitalische Chorographie (Halle, 1852), pp. 135 sq.
