At whatever time he wrote his version of Aesop, by some strange accident, it seems to have entirely disappeared and to have been lost sight of.

His name is mentioned by Avianus, by Suidas, a celebrated critic at the close of the 11th century, who gives in his lexicon several isolated verses of his version of the fables, and by John Tzetzes, a grammarian and poet of Constantinople, who lived during the latter half of the 12th century.

Nevelet, in the preface to the volume which we have described, points out that the fables of Planudes could not be the work of Aesop, as they contain a reference in two places to, quote, holy monks, end quote, and give a verse from the Epistle of St. James as an epimyth to one of the fables, and suggests Babrias as their author.

Francis Vavasor, a learned French Jesuit, entered at greater length on this subject and produced further proofs from internal evidence from the use of the word Piraeus in describing the harbor of Athens, a name which was not given till 200 years after Aesop, and from the introduction of other modern words that many of these fables must have been at least committed to writing posterior to the time of Aesop, and more boldly suggests Babrias as their author or collector.

in hesoid diseases are mentioned two or three times but here again it is impossible to determine their character except in the famous line where famine and plague are coupled together it is certainly most noteworthy that no clear reference is made to malaria for in boeotia the country in which hesoid lived is very marshy and particularly favourable to the growth of the mosquito The nearest approach to a reference, but surely can't be regarded as such, is to be found in Works 416-418.

Suidas says that the name Ippalates, used by Homer and Hesiod, was sometimes applied to Og.

But in the context makes it clear that this meaning of the word is not necessarily that in which it was used by the early poets.

In fact, Suidas appears to have confused Ippalates with Peritos.

a word which must receive full treatment later on the whole the evidence is in favour of the view that malaria was unknown to us all for it is scarcely conceivable that had it existed in his day where he lived he would have omitted to mention it as one of the plagues of the farmer during the hot months it is also most unlikely that malaria was a boeotian disease in prehistoric times for in the western shores of lake kopeas now one of the most unhealthy districts of greece and scarcely habitable there dwelt a proverbially rich people whose city was the famous this flourishing state of the country is quite incompatible with the presence in it of such a deadly enemy as endemic malaria and had malaria existed at all it must have become endemic at once owing to the neighbourhood of mosquito breeding marshes

In fact, Suidas appears to have confused epalates with pedotos, a word which must receive full treatment later.

On the whole, the evidence is in favour of the view that malaria was unknown to Hesiod, for it is scarcely conceivable that, had it existed in his day where he lived, he would have omitted to mention it as one of the plagues of the farmer during the hot months.

It is also most unlikely that malaria was a Boeotian disease in prehistoric times, for in the western shores of Lake Copaeus, now one of the most unhealthy districts of Greece and scarcely habitable, there dwelt a proverbially rich people whose city was the famous Orchomenas.

intimation has since given rise to a series of inquiries the knowledge of which is necessary in the present day to a full understanding of the true position of aesop in connection with the writings that bear his name the history of babrius is so strange and interesting that it might not unfitly be enumerated among the curiosities of literature he is generally supposed to have been a greek of asia minor of one of the ionic colonies but the exact period in which he lived and wrote is yet unsettled he is placed by one critic as far back as the institution of the achaean league b c two fifty by another as late as the emperor severus who died a d two thirty five while others make him a contemporary with phaedrus in the time of augustus at whatever time he wrote his version of aesop by some strange accident it seems to have entirely disappeared and to have been lost sight of His name is mentioned by Evianus, by Suidas, a celebrated critic at the close of the 11th century, who gives in his lexicon several isolated verses of his version of the fables, and by John Cetsis, a grammarian and poet of Constantinople, who lived during the latter half of the 12th century.
