Notes

  • 1-2.

    Between lines 1 and 2 (= Homer lines 41 and 53), Homer's lines 42-52 are missing, which are generally considered as a Byzantine interpolations

  • 5.

    If the alternative, suggested by editor, is correct, it is remarkable to find this unmetrical reading attested so early.

  • 6.

    The editor notes that there is an unidentifiable trace, below τ of the previous line, and that there is a washed-out letter between ι and γ.
