ENDNOTES: 

(1) sc.  Colophon.  Proclus in his abstract of the “Returns” (sc.
     of the heroes from Troy) says Calchas and his party were
     present at the death of Teiresias at Colophon, perhaps
     indicating another version of this story.
(2) ll. 1-2 are quoted by Athenaeus, ii. p. 40; ll. 3-4 by
     Clement of Alexandria, Stromateis vi. 2. 26.  Buttman saw
     that the two fragments should be joined. (NOTE:  These two
     fragments should be read together. —­ DBK)

AEGIMIUS (fragments)

Fragment #1 —­ Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius, Arg. iii. 587:  But the author of the “Aegimius” says that he (Phrixus) was received without intermediary because of the fleece (1).  He says that after the sacrifice he purified the fleece and so:  `Holding the fleece he walked into the halls of Aeetes.’

Fragment #2 —­ Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius, Arg. iv. 816:  The author of the “Aegimius” says in the second book that Thetis used to throw the children she had by Peleus into a cauldron of water, because she wished to learn where they were mortal.... ....And that after many had perished Peleus was annoyed, and prevented her from throwing Achilles into the cauldron.

Fragment #3 —­ Apollodorus, ii. 1.3.1:  Hesiod and Acusilaus say that she (Io) was the daughter of Peiren.  While she was holding the office of priestess of Hera, Zeus seduced her, and being discovered by Hera, touched the girl and changed her into a white cow, while he swore that he had no intercourse with her.  And so Hesiod says that oaths touching the matter of love do not draw down anger from the gods:  `And thereafter he ordained that an oath concerning the secret deeds of the Cyprian should be without penalty for men.’

Fragment #4 —­ Herodian in Stephanus of Byzantium:  `(Zeus changed Io) in the fair island Abantis, which the gods, who are eternally, used to call Abantis aforetime, but Zeus then called it Euboea after the cow.’ (2)

Fragment #5 —­ Scholiast on Euripides, Phoen. 1116:  `And (Hera) set a watcher upon her (Io), great and strong Argus, who with four eyes looks every way.  And the goddess stirred in him unwearying strength:  sleep never fell upon his eyes; but he kept sure watch always.’

Fragment #6 —­
Scholiast on Homer, Il. xxiv. 24: 
`Slayer of Argus’.  According to Hesiod’s tale he (Hermes) slew
(Argus) the herdsman of Io.

Fragment #7 —­
Athenaeus, xi. p. 503: 
And the author of the “Aegimius”, whether he is Hesiod or Cercops
of Miletus (says):  `There, some day, shall be my place of
refreshment, O leader of the people.’
