General Notes This ostracon is a palimpsest, from which four verses survive below the 13 superimposed lines of lyrics of O. Claud. 2.409 (=TM 63417). Approximately 10 overwritten lines can be identified beneath the superimposed text but, except for "κλυε" above the first line, very few letters can be confidently read. The text appears to be by the same hand as O. Claud. 2.409. Both the left- and right-hand sides (with the exception of lines 1-2, which may be complete on the right) are broken with an uncertain number of letters lost. Traces of a lost fifth line are also visible, suggesting an unknown number of additional lost lines below. The identification of these verses as "trochaic" is unwarranted: with letters lost on the ostracon's left-hand side, even a single brevis could transform the verses into iambics.
