NOTES

1. I have printed here what I can read in the papyrus: 12] (Ṭ hitherto unreported; right tip of horizontal visible); 13 … φ. λη Mahaffy, [ανω]ϕελη Schaal, Page, Kambitsis, αν[ω]ϕελη Blass3, but trace of Ω visible. And I shall do so in what follows, but I shall not always draw attention to newly deciphered letters where the text is not in doubt.

2. To the instances cited by the lexica add S. fr. 210.71 Radt.

3. And perhaps El. 692/694. See Studies on the Text of Euripides (1981) 39Google Scholar.

6. On this line see CR 40 (1990) 9Google Scholar = Euripidea 358. To counter my argument that is corrupt, since in this idiom only the finite verb has an object, none being needed by the participle, D. J. Mastronarde (in his commentary, 1994) cites as an example of repeated object S. OC 982–4 . Here the credit of με is not enhanced by the appearance of u.oi at the end of the sentence. I suggest , like OC 1352 E. Andr. 385 . Dr R. D. Dawe reminds me of his conjecture at OT 1191–2 (δόξαντ’ codd., δόξαν Stob.) .

8. He is addressed by Lycus as ἄνθϱωπε, a vocative attested in tragedy only in addresses to anonymous persons (S. Ai. 791, 1154). The case for Amphion, argued by Webster, T. B.

19. Just as at Hel. 1681 the context demands 2nd-person dual ϲϕῶιν not 3rd-person ϲϕῶν. By contrast, at 106 . … … (that is all that I can read; εϲϲϕϱ .. […] Mahaffy), (2nd-person dual), which features in many conjectures, is impossible. Only ἐϲ ϲϕᾶϲ would be possible, but that was probably not written, and in any case ἐϲ is unlikely, since the papyrus always has εἰϲ.
