An Arcadian (c) Festival something resembling the Roman Lupercaliae: 〈◊〉〈◊〉 was celebrated with Games, in which the Conquerour was rewarded ••ith a Suit of brazen Armour; and an Human Sacrifice was offer'd in 〈◊〉〈◊〉. The first Institutor of it was Lycaon, who observ'd it in honour 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Iupiter, sirnam'd Lycaeus, either from Lycaon's own Name, or the Arcadian Mountain Ly••aeus, which the Arcadians pretend is the true ••lympus, whence they call it 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, i. e. the sacred Hill, be∣••••••se Iupiter was feign'd to have had his Education there; in memory 〈◊〉〈◊〉 which there was an Altar, where certain Mysterious Worship was ••••id to that God, and a Plot of Ground consecrated to him, upon ••hich it was unlawful for any Person so much as to set his Foot.
