NEW AUGUSTYN ROMAN.

Io, daughter of Inachus, King of the Argives, whom Jupiter loved, and upon the sudden intervention of Juno, changed into a heifer. Juno, however, not lacking suspicion, begged Jupiter to give that heifer to her, which he then handed over to Argus, who had a hundred eyes, to be guarded; but when Mercury, sent by Jupiter, had killed Argus, Juno, in her anger, sent an œstrum gadfly, an animal harmful to oxen, to harass Io. Io, therefore, stung by the gadfly, ran here and there, and coming into Egypt, was restored to her former form, married King Osiris, and, called Isis, was made a goddess after her death. abcdefghilmnopqrstuvxy&ctœftſi 11223344556677889900 ÆAAIJMMCÇJ BBCCDDEEFFNNĖÈÉ

NEW AUGUSTYN CURSIVE.

HOMER, the greatest of Greek poets, formerly called Melesigenes, but from his blindness he was called Homer, which in the Ionic language signifies a blind man. There is great disagreement concerning his fatherland. For Aulus Gellius poses these verses: Seven cities contend for the origin of the distinguished Homer, Smyrna, Rhodes, Colophon, Salamis, Chios, Argos, Athens. He wrote two works, one about the Trojan war, which is called the Iliad; the other about Ulysses, which is the Odyssey. Which works Aristarchus the Grammarian organized into order. abcdeghinopqrstuvxyctœ. ABDEFGHIMN.R.QST,UÇèëÇ::;EEEEJI
