To the Furi••s (d), who were by the Athenians call'd 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, i. e. Venerable Goddesses; by the Sicyonians, and others, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, i. e. Favourable, or Propitious; out of an Opinion that their true Names were unlucky Omens. This Festival was observ'd once every Year with Sacrifices, wherein pregnant Ews, Cakes made by the most Eminent of the Young Men, and a Libation of Honey and Wine were offer'd to the Goddesses, the Worshippers being deck'd with Flowers. At Athens none had Admission to these Solemnities but Free-born Denizons; and of them, those only that were of known Virtue and Integrity, for such alone could be acceptable to these Deities, whose peculiar Office it was to revenge and punish all sorts of Impiety.
