[Footnote 51: Among the amusements of the feast, a boy
balanced, on his forehead, a pike, or pole, twenty-four feet
long, with a cross bar of two cubits a little below the top.
Two boys, naked, though cinctured, (campestrati,) together,
and singly, climbed, stood, played, descended, &c., ita me
stupidum reddidit: utrum mirabilius nescio, (p. 470.) At
another repast a homily of Chrysostom on the Acts of the
Apostles was read elata voce non Latine, (p. 483.)]
