Honor'd with torches Masgabas you see; and put the same question to him concerning that likewise.
He called an island near Capri, Apragopolis, "The City of the Do-littles," from the indolent life which several of his party led there. A favourite of his, one Masgabas , he used to call Ktistaes. as if he had been the planter of the island.
