1V8 BeJcJcefs Digammated Text of Homer. 



not necessary in order to the introduction of the digamma. The other 

 six are as folloAvs :

In three instances a particle which seemed unnecessary has been 

 omitted to make room for the digamma : 



64. og >t' sl'not or* Tdvaov l^ihaaxo 'Pol^og \4n6Xl(i)v. B. og T£lnri.

In two instances one particle has been substituted for another : 



19. iy-negaav ngidfioio no^vv sv d' ol'xad' Ixiadai. B. xal Folxad' . 



395. ■Tj enst wvi]aag xgadirjp ^idg r^e xotl sgya. rjE rt, f^^j'w. 



I do not find in the first book any instance in which words are trans- 

 posed for the sake of bringing in the digamma. I will add one or 

 two instances from other jjarts of the poems : 



X, 341. fJ-saariyvg xgrixrigog l8h 6g6vov (kgyvgo-Zikov. B. xgrjirigog ^saarjyv Fide,

There are several instances in the first book where a Avord usually 

 digammated is compelled by stress of metre to forego this addition. 

 The lines which I have noted are 



216. %Q^ ("V (Tcp(atTEg6v ye, ded, ^inog elgvaaaaOai. not Feigiaaaadai. 



239. Ttgog ^ibg elgiaxai ■ o 8e rot fisyag eaaerat ogxog. Yeigvaxai.

My search was a hasty one. It is most likely that careful looking 

 would bring out a few more cases of this kind. 



Before proceeding to notice and criticise the treatment of particu- 

 lar words, there are two remarks of a general nature which it seems 

 important to j^remise. They relate to the evidence in favor of a di- 

 gamma, and the evidence against a digamma, in the case of any par- 

 ticular word. 



First as to the evidence in favor, it must always be borne in mind 

 that there are cases in which hiatus was more or less freely allowed
