[1] General Cesnola gives a most interesting description of Cyprian antiquities in a work published in 1877.

[5] The defier of storms.
[6] Envoy.
[7] Mussulman priests.
[8] We are indebted to General Cesnola’s valuable work on the antiquities of Cyprus for a principal part of the above facts respecting the ruins of the Temple of Venus. Reference to his high authority was indispensable, and we have thought it best to give in a great measure his own words, instead of laying his account before the public in a garbled form.—M. A. J.
[9] A delicious species of nectarine.
[10] The Oriental or common well.
[11] That portion of Larnaka which lies along the sea-shore is called the “Marina,” while Larnaka proper is about three-quarters of a mile inland.
[12] In this play the King of Cyprus is described as reclining on a couch with doves flying over his head, and fanning him with their wings. Attendants were represented as standing around in order to keep the birds at a respectful distance from the prince. We mention this fact, as we have seen it recently stated that what was simply intended as a caricature was an actual custom in Cyprus.
[13] This wind has been erroneously called “limbat” from, we presume, a confusion of a French article with its noun, “l’imbat.”
[14] The cauliflower was introduced to Europe from Cyprus.
[15] Governor.
