17.2.1792 pidd / 10.9.1792 pides

the Godwin Diary editors have avoided explaining Godwin's words in Greek letters, using squares to represent them. Perhaps their Greek is as weak as mine but for completeness I've included them anyway.

I think these may mean piss or urine. please enlighten me

18.1.1792 Huniades.

John Huniades was a Hungarian general who defeated the Turks and died in 1456. Godwin mentioned him in St Leon. By the time he wrote St Leon he was reading the 12 volume 1797 edition of Gibbon's Decline and Fall (te0884) but Gibbon was the most likely source of information on Huniades so he may have referred to an earlier edition at this point
