[Footnote 73: It is very properly translated by the
President Cousin, (Hist. de Constantinople, tom. iv. p. 131,
in 12mo.,) qui combattoit comme une Pallas, quoiqu'elle ne
fut pas aussi savante que celle d'Athenes. The Grecian
goddess was composed of two discordant characters, of Neith,
the workwoman of Sais in Egypt, and of a virgin Amazon of
the Tritonian lake in Libya, (Banier, Mythologie, tom. iv.
p. 1 - 31, in 12mo.)]
