Note 172 — Chapter XII · THE STONE OF HERCULES.
Reading edition
The name of the Slaavs and that of the Shelloks (Ama-zirgeh) are derived in the same manner, also the Etruscan states Ardea (noble); for from it was taken by Rome the institution which made Rome noble and great—the fecial vows and college, i.e. heraldry, or the laws of war.—See Servius on Æn. vii. v. 412.
