References

page 73 note 1 φ⋯ρειν τοια⋯τ' is my conjecture.

page 73 note 2 If ⋯υώis wrong, and someone else is said to be ἂσωτος, it was probably Gorgias (for Pheidias has nothing to do with this scene, as far as we know), and ⋯σωτία the supposed fault for which he is to beturned out.

page 73 note 3 In which case will be ‘am I giving my daughter as bride to a slave (Daos)?’ (ll. 42–4).

page 74 note 1 Körte, by a brilliant restoration, explained Ἀλέας Ἀθάνς (84) to be a reference to Herakles' rape of Auge in that temple, not the place of Laches' violence to Myrrine. Attractive as this is, I am not entirely convinced. ‘Quomodo’, he says, ‘Attica virgo et Atticus adulescens in Arcadia convenerint, equidem nescio.’ Neither do I; but perhaps Menander did.

page 74 note 2 I do not feel confident that the space at the beginning of this line is too big for [σαω⋯]ς, which is clearly the more probable word.
