The manufactures of Palermo, as they are
described by Hugo Falcandus, (Hist. Sicula in proem. in
Muratori Script. Rerum Italicarum, tom. v. p. 256,) is a
copy of those of Greece. Without transcribing his
declamatory sentences, which I have softened in the text, I
shall observe, that in this passage the strange word
exarentasmata is very properly changed for exanthemata
by Carisius, the first editor Falcandus lived about the year
1190.
