Summary
I first offer a text, translation and some textual and literary comments. The text printed here is that of West 1991. The editio princeps of fr. 188.3–5, preserved on P.Colon. 58.36–40, was by Merkelbach and West 1974, 101 and 111–2, shortly to be superseded by Kramer and Hagedorn 1978. For the numerous editions and discussions since this chapter’s first publication in 1987 see Brown and Gerber 1993, Swift 2019.1
