IV.— SUGGESTIONS ON SOME EPIGRAMS OF THE
THIRD VOLUME OF DIDOT'S EDITION OF
THE ANTHOLOGIA PALATINA.
This work, which appeared in 1890, has elicited a considerable
amount of criticism. In particular, van Herwerden, in his Studia
Critica in Epigrammata Graeca (Leiden, 1891), has pointed out
the insufficiency of the editor, Cougny, and has made many most
excellent corrections of the text of the Epigrams. A large
number of these have had the advantage of being previously
edited by Prof. Kaibel, whose widely known Epigrammata
Graeca ex lapidibus collecta was published as far back as 1878.
The suggestions which I offered in Hermes (1879, pp. 258-62)
after a perusal of Kaibel's volume, I wish now to supplement,
after a renewed examination of his views and with the extra light
supplied by Cougny.
I 328. 5, 6 C [907 Kaibel] :
Aepfced poi, (j)i\os, Me vorjpova reicrova \oKkov
'H<pai<rrov <rocj)Lt) oS>pa piprjtrapevov.
The original gives o-o^iijr o-a>pM, and Kaibel states that this is
attested by no less than three copies. Cougny prints o-ocpln, from
Kaibel ; yet it seems possible that o-o$iV <rS>i>.a should mean ' a
form embodying the skill.' For piprjo-dpevov, an almost incon-
ceivable false quantity, the author of the epigram may have
written ri pr/o-dpevov.
II 117, on Paris:
'Ee#do"e Trvp to T/xoeax 'EXXdfior a\yos cnrdo-r)s

Herw. Suggests 'EvddSe nvp Tpeucox, [r^f] 'EXXdfioy a. dn-.J possibly
'EvddS' e'yo> Tpaav iriip. The v. can hardly be without caesura,
though the instances quoted by Herwerden show that this some-
times happened in late writers.

Kaibel thinks the last word here contains some lost superlative

a real name, a mere mistake for 'aSt-a-d™. The father, Odesatus,
and the mother, Chrysion, would naturally be mentioned together
as mourning for their child.

Lebas, whose restoration of this epigram is generally satis-
factory, does not seem to me right in his \olo0u>v, at the beginning
of 8. Cougny prints <nyr)v : this too is unlikely. Perhaps the
word was ^vxn"- Philippus was on the point of death : his life

D'Orville thought this was the sense required: 'sed age, licet
Alexandra amata fuerit, ne amplius lamenta desiderabili puellae
libate querentes.' He, however, reads 'A\egdi>8pa <av cpiXaro, taking
tp'iXaro as passive. My emendation does less violence to Greek,
and might explain the errors of the inscription. There must have
been a transference of the v from ' sk^dvhpav, which caused k« to
be changed to nav.
If the above view is right, the name added in prose at the end
of the inscription cannot be the name of the girl. D'Orville
prints Ti6i)VJ] Yyeia ; Kaibel prints Tiviji'a 'Yyeia.

two letters. Le Bas' conj., r)pdpevos, appears to me worth consid-
eration: it might be a passive participle fluctuating in form
between a strict perfect ripa.vp.hos and an aorist with passive
meaning: so oirao-pevos, oirdpevos. The meaning, if ipav is right
(E' is all that remains), must be 'loved by more.'

patrolling the streets with torches, but of men moving round in a
mill by moonlight. The moon speaks.

These men of the mill, thus moving round in the moonlight,
are fancifully represented as driving the moon's chariot. The sun
is therefore told that his anger at Phaethon's usurping his horses
and chariot has found a parallel in the usurpation of the moon's
chariot by the vvktos d\oa>vres. I cannot understand how these
words can refer to dXda-dai ; or how the dative TzQp'unrois can mean
'propter quadrigas tuas' (Herwerden). The single point of
language which calls for remark is the use of re, which here
corresponds closely to Latin que = quoque in hodieque, and
similar cases cited in my Catullus, CII 3.
1 The actual remaining letters of the inscription are given in Revue de
Philologie, 1845, p. 334, by Le Bas.

This is from an oracle which Dionysius of Halicarnassus cites
(Antiqq. I 68) as given to Dardanus, when he transferred his
home, with the Palladia and images of the gods, from Samothrace

7ravTo8i8aKTot should not be altered to iravroftiftaKTov, an epithet not
specially suited to Persephone. It refers to the careful training
of the ministering priests in all the details of the cultus.

I make ivv<pdo-para depend on lo-ra Bcioirayel, and suppose an
asyndeton after iroiKiXa. But the passage is very doubtful. Yet
the pause after the fifth foot, nouciXa, recurs in 38 Xapnpots etpao-i

47.48:

Cougny translates otSare as an imperative. Surely it is indie:
'you all know' = 'as you all know.'

Though the exact allusion in 51-3 is uncertain, it seems dan-
gerous to alter the words rrjv dvTindXmv orav aiav to rap dyxtdXtav orav
etev, as C. Miiller suggested, Fragm. Hist. Graec. Ill, p. 620; for
the construction of the words given in the MS tradition is at least
Coherent, Kai vfja-cov vairai orav vdo-<ra>vrai rrjv dvr. aiav, whereas, if
Muller's conj. be received, it is difficult to see why elev should be
substituted for &0-1, and not easy to elicit any quite satisfactory
meaning from the verses following. Cougny seems to me to be
DIDOT'S ANTHOLOGIA PAL ATTN A. 36 1
right here in his retention of the MS reading. But in the next
vv. emendation is easier and comparatively sure. I would write
ol(Ti «<^t<u 'Ec irarpioio-i vopois "Upas £6avov ti kut oikov. And if olo-i IS
right, it is probable that v. 52 ended with ovroi.
In 55 Emper altered WiV™" to nidr/ai, which is printed by Otto
Keller in his edition of the Paradoxographi (1877, Teubner).
This cannot be considered certain: ntfjjrm might mean 'is insti-
tuted,' and is very much nearer ndrfvrai. But o-epvordrriv must
contain something which connects with the v. preceding and
gives a construction to eWXtfjs : this is, I believe, 2ep.vd re rfjv. The
whole passage, then, I would write thus :
vpvelv at. Ke yipci 7rpo(j)epeo~Tepai 3>o~ evi Xaols,

The words oi> 8oXa> d\\a fra Kv/iaida seem to imply that the
territory had been violently seized by the Cumaeans, and that
they had subsequently been dispossessed by the islanders (ouroi).

In 63 peya\fjTr}v can hardly be peydXrjv 6(6v : it should contain
aAoiT- or dXeiT- (aXtrelx) : possibly the dative plur. peyaXoino-iv 'great
sinners,' viz. females, who had violated the laws of chastity or
marriage, and to whom Hera would be hostile (dvdvrr)), and
therefore requiring propitiation (oixceV). The following v. may
easily be restored : |eora 8' orav £<W $01 Kal aXX' So-' eXe£a o-a(prjvy
(o-a<pr)vy, Alexander). 65, 66 are more doubtful, possibly vtrb
KepKidos dptpX KaKimrpais 'ipeproio-i fla\(iv kt\. In this way the diffi-
culty of \apovo-a is avoided : it could hardly be Xa/3oVa. |3aXeu< is
the infinitive used for the imperative.
