[66] It will be observed that the rams and goats seem to represent the ‘hecatomb,’ which here does not consist of 100 or of any oxen. It may indeed be doubted if the “-βη” represents “βοῦς” at all. (Platt explains the word as ‘one hundredth of the oxen’ a man has; but even that does not suit this place.)
