Not illustrated. 1818 Excerpt: ...to lay aside their barbarous mauuers, but this practice was left off; insomuch that Medea, in Euripides, complains that women were the most miserable of all rational creatures, because lying under a necessity of purchasing their own masters at a dear ratec. So frequent became the custom for women to bring portions to their husbands, that some make the most essential difference between y-i-- and x-AA-xii, i. e. wife and concubine, to consist in this, that wives had dowries, whereas concubines were usually without: whence one in Plautus, the scene of whose action is laid in Greece, speaks thus d: ted ut imps, Infamil ne tim, ne milii hancfamam differant, ne - Iphigcn. in Aulid. v. 851. h Politic, lib. ii-cap. 8. 2 I'lutarchus Pclopida. c Kuripidis, Med. 230.
