[Notes]
Abstract
THE Journal of Hellenic Studies appears with this number, Vol. LI, Part I, in a new format, beautifully printed. The principal article is a closely reasoned discussion by Mr. J. A. Wainwright of the question whether Keftiu (Caphtor) is Crete. The writer, arguing mainly from the representations of kilts in Egyptian paintings, gives very strong grounds to support his view that the Keftiuans were Cilicians or the like and had nothing to do with Crete. Mr. Wade-Gery discusses afresh the Financial Decrees of Kallias, offers some new readings, and is inclined to make them belong to 422/1 B.C. Professor Mountford writes on a new fragment (a very little one) of Greek music, probably as old as 250 B.C., and gives approximate renderings in modern musical notation. There is an amusing note on the claim to the vacant throne of Greece in v 1830 made by an Irishman boasting descent from the Palaeologi and supporting his claim by a testimonial of character from the parish priest. Among the books reviewed are Sir Arthur Evans's Palace of Minos, vol. iii, Mr. Bowra's Tradition and Design in the Iliad, and Dr. Farnell's translation of Pindar.
