¹ The situation is similar in Colluthus, where we have one tenth-century manuscript (Paris. Suppl. Gr. 388) versus the same b, represented by a few more copies than in Triphiodorus. Livrea's stemma (Colluto, Il Ratto di Elena, 1968) can no doubt be refined in the light of the new stemma for Triphiodorus.

² Despite 647 and Il. 2. 527; cf. Q.S. 1. 258. Perhaps υἱ⋯ς should be written in 647 too.

³ Similar variants at Musae. 236 and 334.

⁴ At Q.S. 2. 430 the paradosis has ⋯ν⋯νιπε, contra Gerlaud's note.

⁵ See at μαζο⋯, 40 π⋯σα, 143 τετανυσμ⋯νον, 206 ⋯⋯σσαι (Gerlaud p. 70), 213 ⋯υκρα⋯ρους, 216 ῥοιτει⋯δος, 363 νομοῖο, 421 ⋯περ⋯κεις, 579 ⋯νη⋯ι, 586 ⋯ξ⋯ρνγον, 641 ⋯σπ⋯σθαι also 557 V (Livrea xi, Gerlaud 61 n. 1), 643 MV (Livrea xi, Gerlaud 60 n. 8). Livrea contradicts himself about the reading of N at 213 (p. xv and ad loc.).

⁶ A corrected copy, for there is a confusing error of drawing or printing: the line connecting γ and μ should connect δ and μ. One may like to add the geographical coordinates determined in Eleuteri's book: β South Italy, γ Byzantium, ζ Venice, μ Florence, V°U Rome.

⁷ Connections with the β family are also apparent at 257, 267, 301, 312.

⁸ In the apparatus, similarly, the symbol α (archetype) is often used tendentiously.

⁹ My two commentaries on Hesiod are for some reason listed in the bibliography, but not the two articles in which I have published conjectures on Musaeus: Phil. 106 (1962), 315 and 110(1966), 167.

¹⁰ The asyndeton in 333 is surprising and could easily be eliminated by writing ⋯π' ⋯γρ⋯πνοισιδ'.
