Note 146 — Chapter IV · LANDED POSSESSION. THE EÐEL, HÍD OR ALOD.
Reading edition
In MS. glossaries we find gelondan rendered by fratrueles. In advanced periods only can there be a distinction between the family, and the local, distributions: Suidas, citing Xanthus, says the Lydians made a solemn supplication to the gods, παγγενεί τε καὶ πανδημεί. See Niebuhr on the Patrician Houses, i. 267.
