Claudian alfo fpeaks of thefe Quivers.——

Utuntur ergo AEthiopes capite pro pharetra quod fieri potuit vitta quadam diademate lattufculo & fora-minibus quibufdam inftructto, quibus fagittae ut vaginis induntur qua parte habent fpicula, eminent pinnae & formant coronas radiatas,—Gefner ad Claudian.

Among poetical liberties we often fee that the Latin word Corytus, or Corytos, is made ufe of as fynonimous with Pharetra, as in this paffage from Statius
    ——"caeleftibus implet
    " Coryton telis"——Theb. 9—720.

And alfo,—

The fame ufe of the word occurs in Virgil. AEneid X. L. 169 ; and Ovid, Trift. Lib. V. El.7, L. 15. But notwithftanding thefe paffages, and many more of the fame fignification, the critics uniformly fay the Corytos was the cafe of the Bow, and not the Quiver.—-See the note on the above paffage in Virgil, Æneid X. L. 169. in the Mafvicius Edition, Two Volumes Quarto, 1717. " Coryti, propriè funt arcuum thecae dicuntur tamen etiam fagittarum, quas & pharetras vocamus."—And alfo Voffius' Lex.
