Note 333 — FIRST SECTION. (continued 2)

Still another explanation would seem possible, according to Clement of Alexandria, Paedag. bk. II. ch. 7. p. 179., ναὶ μὴν καὶ τῶν ὤτων οἱ γαργαλισμοὶ καὶ τῶν πταρμῶν οἱ ερεθισμοὶ, ὑώδεις εἰσὶ κνησμοὶ, πορνείας ἀκολάστου (Yea! and moreover ticklings of the ears, and irritations causing sneezing, these are swinish itches, signs of excessive licentiousness). For the rest Seneca, Epist. 114., also says, Non vides—si ille effeminatus est, in ipso incessu apparere mollitiam? (See you not—if he is effeminate, that his lasciviousness is apparent in his very walk?)
