Letter 444. March, 31st, 1832: "I think it may be better to write directly to yourself, on the subject you enquire about. In Theocritus�καλα εργα�ὁσσα ισατι�χαιρε Αδωᾂν αγαπατε�Idyll:15. κατατριψοντι, ακρεσπερον�Idyll:24. in Hesiod�κλυθι ιδων�εις ωπα εϊσκειν�Κρονιωνι ανακτι�works & days. ὑιε αναξ�ἁμα εργον�ανεφαινετο εργον�ημερα ασσον�ωκεα Ιρις�Theogony. I have not any complete edition of either Hesiod or Theocritus; and would not write to you by today�s post, that I might have time to borrow them. Mr Deane however, to whom I sent, is without either. Dalzel gives very copious extracts; & these I have examined,�but I cannot find in them, ανηρ in the right position. I will try to procure the books somewhere else,�and if I succeed, you shall hear again from me."
