Ib. sezione intitolata Τhe Opicans and
Ausonians, p. 57. Olsi, as it stands in the
Periplus of Scylax (not. 190. ᾽Oλσοί.
Peripl. 3.), is no errour of the transcriber; it is Volsi dropping the
Digamma; hence Volsici was derived, and then contracted into Volsci.
.... I have no doubt that the Elisyci or Helisyci, mentioned by Herodotus (VII. 165.) among the
tribes from which the Carthaginians levied their army to attack
Sicily in the time of Gelon, are no other
people than the Volsci.
