Plut. Mor., Greek and Roman Parallels 29 — Parallels, or a comparison between the Greek and Roman Histories, Plutarch; served verbatim

Aristonymus, an Ephesian and the son of Demostratus, was a woman-hater; but he had to do with an ass, which brought him forth in the ordinary course of time a most beautiful daughter, which he called Onoscelis.— Aristotle’s Second Book of Paradoxes. Fulvius Stellus had an aversion to women too; but entertained himself to his satisfaction with a mare, by which he had a very handsome daughter, that he called Hippona; and this is the goddess that has the care of the breed of horses.—According to Agesilaus, in the Third Book of his Italian History.

The Greek stands ready in the workroom; the English is served. Both faces will read together.
