1 καὶ εἴποις, the οι written over an original αι or α. Meineke long since conjectured κεν εἴποις, which I believe to be right. But the whole line should be given to Gorgo; from Praxinoa the phrase seems meaningless. K also reads κά, which Legrand retains ; I should not venture.

2 Dr. Hunt does not distinguish the hands of the annotators, but thinks, if I understand him aright, that there are at least two, of whom one may be the scribe of the text. It would be of importance to ascertain whether the discrepant notes are likely to be his or not. I should like to know also to whom we owe the news that Alexandria is in Egypt (15. 48)—and for whom he penned such a note.
