[518] Lernae flumina, probably Lerna and the streams flowing into it: comp. Eur. Phoen. 125, Λερναῖα νάματα. Mr. Munro in a letter to the editor says “Lerna, at the present day, consists of a series of exceedingly deep natural canals of beautifully clear water, which might well be called ‘flumina.’ These are formed from a vast series of springs in that part of the plain of Argolis. I do not remember any visible ‘flumina’ which ran into them.” ‘Piscosae,’ to show his trade: comp. 4. 255, “Circum Piscosos scopulos humilis volat aequora iuxta” of the sea-bird.
