Note 79 Julian, Epist. xxxv. p. 407-411. This epistle, which illustrates the declining age of Greece, is omitted by the Abbé de la Bleterie; and strangely disfigured by the Latin translator, who, by rendering Ancient Greek

'tributum', and Ancient Greek

'populus', directly contradicts the sense of the original.
