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. abcdefghilmnopqrstuvxyœct 11223344556677889900/ÆAMOOAABBCCDDEEFFNN;

NEW SMALL MEDIAAN CURSIVE.

SOCRATES the Athenian, son of Sophroniscus the stonecutter and Phaenarete the midwife, who, because he was of sharp intellect and saw that physics and eloquence were of no use without virtue, left behind those arts which alone were in use at that time, turned himself to Ethics, and vehemently mocked the sophists. Furthermore, when Apollo was asked by someone about Socrates, he answered that he was the wisest: because of this, when many envied him, he was accused by a certain rich man named Anytus, and the poet Melissus, and the orator Lycon, as if he despised the gods and corrupted the youth, and because he spoke too spiritedly at the trial, he was sentenced to death and drank poison in prison: but the people immediately grieved his death so much that they punished his accusers with either death or exile, and dedicated a bronze statue to Socrates himself. Plato and many others were his disciples. abcdefghilmnopqrstuvxy ABBBCCCCDDDEEEEFFFFGGGHHHHIIIIKKKK MMMMMOPPRTTTQJQ Qofisss&&aej
