Note 1 — THE NINETEENTH BOOK OF HOMER’S ODYSSEYS

George Chapman translation

Χοὶνικος ἅπτηται, they will needs turn this, quadram (for modium) gustet. Though the words bear no such signification, but give a proverb then in use repetition, which was: he shall not join or make a spoke in the nave of my chariot, or chariot-wheel. Χοίνικον, or χοίνικις, signifying modiolus rotæ, and ἅπτω, recto.
