Perhaps James has caught the disease from that person named ARRIUS who,
according to Catullus, called himself HARRIUS and was last heard of as
writing back to Rome from the HIONIAN Sea. The WOLOGION suffered many
indignities, to be sure, but to be aspirated for no good reason? Perhaps
what Edgar had in mind originally was hWROLOGION? I think he should get a
GNWMON, and I don't mean one of those little beardy men sitting on his
shoulders.
