An anniversary Solemnity at Athens (c) 1.1 upon the sixteenth of Muny∣••ion, in honour of Diana sirnam'd Munychia from King Munychus, the Son of Pentacleus; or from a part of the Piraeeus, call'd Munychia, where this Goddess had a Temple, to which the Athenians allow'd the Pri∣vilege of being a Sanctuary to such as fled to it for refuge. At this So∣lemnity they offer'd certain Cakes call'd 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, which name is deriv'd 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, i. e. from shining on every side, either be∣cause lighted Torches hung round them, when they were carry'd into the Temple; or because they were offer'd at Full Moon; that being the Time of this Festival, for it was instituted in honour of Diana, who was reputed to be the same with the Moon, be∣cause it was Full Moon, when Themistocles overthrew the Persian Fleet 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Salamis.
