Linguistic notes on the form "underneath", which appears in the poem. Reference to specific pages of the "Immovable Life" by Kostis Palamas. Cavafy uses examples from proverbs, referring to the work of N. G. Politis, Meletai peri tou viou kai tis glossis tou ellinikou laou. Paradoseis, vols. I, II, Athens 1904.
