* Oryus.-And, at once, Broteas and Oryus slew : Oryus' mother, Mycalé, was known,

Down from her sphere to draw the lab'ring moon.

* Palmyra.-Nothing can be better fixed in an English ear than the penultimate accentuation of this word: this pronunciation is adopted by Ainsworth and Lempriere. Gouldman and Holyoke seem to look the other way; but Labbe says the more learned give this word the antepenultimate accent, and that this accent is more agreeable to the general rule. Those, however, must be pedantic coxcombs, who should attempt to disturb the received pronunciation when in English, because a contrary accentuation may possibly be proved to be more agreeable to Greek or Latin.

+ Pammenes. I find this word no where but in Lempriere, who accents it on the penultimate! but as all words of this termination have the antepenultimate accent, till this appears an exception I shall venture to alter it.

+ Pantheon. This word is universally pronounced with the accent on the second syllable in English, but in Latin it has its first syllable accented; and this accentuation makes so slight a difference to the ear, that it ought to have the preference.

* Papias.-This is the name of an early Christian writer, who first propagated the doctrine of the Millennium; and it is generally pronounced with the accent on the second syllable, but I believe corruptly, since Labbe has adopted the antepenultimate accent, who must be well acquainted with the true pronunciation of ecclesiastical characters.

+ Parysatis.-Labbe tells us that some prosodists contend that this word ought to be accented on the antepenultimate syllable, and we find Lempriere has so accented it; but so popular a tragedy as Alexander, which every where accents the penultimate, has fixed this pronunciation in our own country beyond a doubt.

Patroclus.-Lempriere, Ainsworth, Gouldman, and Holyoke, accent the penultimate syllable of this word; but Labbe the antepenultimate; our gra duses pronounce it either way; but I do not hesitate to prefer the penultimate accent: and till some good reason be given for the contrary, I think Patrocles the historian, and Patrocli a small island, ought to be pronounced with the same as the friend of Achilles.
