In 1868, when the rebellious nobles of Oshu and Dewa, in the Tozando, had submitted to the emperor, those two provinces were subdivided, Dewa into Uzen and Ugo, and Oshu into Iwaki, Iwashiro, Rikuzen, Rikuchu and Michinoku (usually called Mutsu). This increased the old number of provinces from sixty-six to seventy-one. At the same time there was created a new circuit, called the _Hokkaido_, or "northern-sea circuit," which comprised the eleven provinces into which the large island of Yezo was then divided (viz. Oshima, Shiribeshi, Ishikari, Teshibo, Kitami, Iburi, Hiaka, Tokachi, Kushiro, and Nemuro) and the Kurile Islands (Chishima). Entry: 1
The earliest Greek edition of the Hippocratic writings is that which was published by Aldus and Asulanus at Venice in 1526 (folio); it was speedily followed by that of Frobenius, which is much more accurate and complete (fol., Basel, 1538). Of the numerous subsequent editions, probably the best was that of Foesius (Frankfort, 1595, 1621, Geneva, 1657), until the publication of the great works of Littré, _Oeuvres complètes d'Hippocrate, traduction nouvelle avec le texte grec en regard, collationnée sur les manuscrits et toutes les éditions, accompagnée d'une introduction, de commentaires médicaux, de variantes, et de notes philologiques_ (10 vols., Paris, 1839-1861), and of F. Z. Ermerins, _Hippocratis et aliorum medicorum veterum reliquiae_ (3 vols., Utrecht, 1859-1864). See also Adams (as cited above), and Reinhold's _Hippocrates_ (2 vols., Athens, 1864-1867). Daremberg's edition of the _Oeuvres choisies_ (2nd ed., Paris, 1855) includes the _Oath_, the _Law_, the _Prorrhetics_, book i., the _Prognostics, On Airs, Waters, and Places, Epidemics_, books i. and iii., _Regimen_, and _Aphorisms_. Of the separate works attributed to Hippocrates the editions and translations are almost innumerable; of the _Prognostics_, for example, seventy editions are known, while of the _Aphorisms_ there are said to exist as many as three hundred. For some notice of the Arabic, Syriac and Hebrew translations of works professedly by Hippocrates (Ibukrat or Bukrat), the number of which greatly exceeds that of the extant Greek originals, reference may be made to Flügel's contribution to the article "Hippokrates" in the _Encyklopädie_ of Ersch and Gruber. They have been partially catalogued by Fabricius in his _Bibliotheca Graeca_. (J. B. T.) Entry: HIPPOCRATES
To the foregoing must be added two armoured cruisers--the "Kurama" (14,000) launched at Yokosuka in October 1907, and the "Ibuki" (14,700) launched at Kure in November 1907, but no other battleships or cruisers were laid down in Japan or ordered abroad up to the close of 1908. Entry: A
The German excavations have shown that the _Qasr_ mound represents both the old palace of Nabopolassar, and the new palace adjoining it built by Nebuchadrezzar, the wall of which he boasts of having completed in 15 days. They have also laid bare the site of the "Gate of Ishtar" on the east side of the mound and the little temple of Nin-Makh (Beltis) beyond it, as well as the raised road for solemn processions (_A-ibur-sabu_) which led from the Gate of Ishtar to E-Saggila and skirted the east side of the palace. The road was paved with stone and its walls on either side lined with enamelled tiles, on which a procession of lions is represented. North of the mound was a canal, which seems to have been the Libilkhegal of the inscriptions, while on the south side was the Arakhtu, "the river of Babylon," the brick quays of which were built by Nabopolassar.
