page 110 note 1 II's history before it came to Perugia is unknown, whereas we do know D to have been a Medicean MS. Hence the latter seems a more likely source than the former for Politian's and Lascaris' readings.

page 110 note 2 I assume the change from βαλоῖσα (so Q) to λαβоῖσα in S to be subsequent to Politian's publication of his text; we have seen that C. Lascaris used the latter elsewhere (pp. 66–7 above).

page 114 note 5 Ad Callimachi hymnos et ad Graeca illorum scholia Parisiensium codicum duorum uarias lectiones enotauit G. Pohl (Posen, 1860)Google Scholar. His touchstones were the Tauchnitz (1829) edition for the Hymns, and Ernesti's for the scholia; his citations from the Hymns number nearly 440. Of fourteen mistakes in E. which he attributes to the ‘socordia et ignorantia librarii,’ seven, occurring also in e, must be ascribed to their common source, and indicate the fidelity, not the defects, of the writer of E.

page 114 note 6 e owes ὀ- to correction, and a space is left before it, in which Т probably stood.

page 115 note 1 Probably Ee's source had ὦ in different ink from the rest of the line; cf. some members of he z group passim.

page 116 note 1 There are also 211 minor cases, comprising 144 of accent, 26 of word-division, 17 of use or omission of iota subscr., 16 of breathing, and 8 of punctuation.

page 116 note 2 Add I. 10, where E attains παρρασίη by correction (παρνασίη e codd.); so do C and S, but E elsewhere shows no indebtedness to either.

page 119 note 1 Possibly an archetypal misdivision, corrected by cett.'s sources from the scholium here: ἐσσὴν кνρίως δ βασιλεὐς Тῶν μελισσῶν кТλ.

page 119 note 2 At III. 57 E'S margin emends τρινακίης of his conjecture to τρινακρίης: at III. 240 it annotates πρύλιν with πρύλην (? πρύχην: the word occurs, with this same doubt, in his text at I. 52). In seven places E's margin=e's text; viz. thrice in correcting E's own text (II. 6, ἀναкλίνεσθε: II. 8 χоρόν: V. 3, εѷТνкоς), thrice in recording the reading of his source beside his own conjecture (I. 26, πоλύσγТειоν: II. 4, ὲπὲνενσεν: VI. 38, ἐТιὸωνТо), and at III. 78 (кόρσιν, the alternative which E did not choose from the source's doublet).
