Translated, with copious notes and illustrations by the late John Bostock and H. T. Riley. Vol. VI. With general index. London, 1857, p. 311: To the story chased upon the pedestal of the statue the name of the "Birth of Pandora"²⁹ has been given; and the figures of new-born³⁰ gods to be seen upon it are no less than twenty in number. ²⁹ "Pandoras Genesis." ³⁰ Sillig is of opinion that this passage is corrupt, and is inclined to think, with Panofka, that the reading should be "nascenti adstantes," – gods "standing by the new-born" Pandora”
