Notes
- 8.
The apostrophe between the γ and the δ is uncertain, but without it there is more ink than the letters will account for. It is alternatively possible that a mistake was made.
- 9.
The preceding πε- of πεφευγότας would have been on the previous line before the break in the papyrus.
- 11.
Paragraphos indicates the end of a sentence after Τεγεητέων
- 12.
βασιλεύοντος does not appear on the papyrus but is present in MSS. Its absence on the papyrus perhaps follows epigraphic dating conventions.
- 16.
The purpose of the stop is to disconnect πρὸς Τεγεή from the preceding participle.
- 18.
Paragraphos indicates end of a sentence after -ον Middot may indicate end of the section after -ον
- 21.
[α]πάντων is demanded by the spacing.
- 23.
The superfluous α was canceled by a long vertical stroke and by an overwritten dot. The remaining -κτοι of ἀπρόσμικτοι would have been produced on the following page.
