A Festival celebrated (as the Name signifies) by a concourse of People from all the Cities of Ionia (c) 1.1. The Place, or Temple, in which it was kept, was call'd 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. It was instituted in honour of Ne∣ptune, sirnam'd Heliconius from Helice, a City of Achaia, which after∣wards perish'd by an Earth-quake. One thing there was remarkable in this Festival, viz. That, if the Bull offer'd in Sacrifice happen'd to bel∣low, it was accounted an Omen of Divine Favour, because that sound was thought to be acceptable to Neptune: To this Homer is thought to allude in these Verses (d) 1.2,
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.Dying he roar'd, as when a Bull is drawn About the King of sacred Helice.
