Note LE — PREFACE TO THE EDITION OF 1814 (continued 4)

The same editor of Toland's book on the Druids, whose comment on Taranis is given in the previous note, writes thus of Adraste, or Andate, p. 359:—"Respecting this goddess there has been some difference of opinion. The Greeks seem to have considered her as Nemesis, or the goddess of revenge.... There can be little doubt that the goddess here meant is the Phœnician Ashtaroth, or Astarte, i.e. 'the moon.'" See Dio Cassius, i. 64.—ED.
