Note 651 — PHOTIUS BIBLIOTHECA OR MYRIOBIBLON[6] (continued 5)
John Henry Freese translation
According to Suidas, the inhabitants of Corycus (a promontory in Pamphylia), to avoid being plundered by pirates, used to go and listen in other harbours to find out where certain vessels were bound, and then informed the pirates. He adds that the comic poets introduced a Corycian god, one who was always listening. Ephorus gives a somewhat different story. The text is unsatisfactory here and the meaning is not very clear. J. H. Leich’s suggestion, χωρίσειεν (segregaret), in his essay on the Bibliotheca (1748), does not mend matters.
