1 A similar hyperbole but without the apostrophe occurs in [Theocr.] xx. 25 where A. S. F. Gow compares ii. 79. Dr. Gilbert Murray kindly reminds me of Eur. Ion 1439f.

2 Reminiscences from Theocritus are frequent in Bion; cf. Legrand, P. E., Bucoliques grecs, ii (1927), p. 1912.Google Scholar Also Διώνα = Venus has its only Greek parallel in Theocritus (vii. 116); Catullus lvi. 6 may depend on one of these passages.—In the light of the new evidence it is unnecessary to contest the idea that τὺ Διώνα is corrupt.
