Abstract

In the course of a valuable discussion of the Di Indigetes , Koch seeks to prove that the epithet means Stammväter , using as his material certain passages of Greek authors which seem to equate indiges with γενάρχης. Of these the chief is the famous fragment of Diodorus Siculus preserved in a Vatican MS. and first published by Mai, Scriptorum Veterum Noua Collectio, ii, p. 116.
