Notes

  • 1.

    The transmitted text ἥντινα ἂν τάττῃ was evidently garbled by the scribe or his exemplar.

  • 7.

    The editor wonders whether the end of the line contains a dittography, i.e., ἂν {ἂγ}, with the gamma explained by the kappa of καί which follows in the transmitted text.

  • 4.

    It is unclear how significant the scribe's deviation from the transmitted text is.

  • 12.

    There are traces of what appear to be a marginal note, which the editor suspects may have shed light on the reading at the beginning of the line.
