So Dind. and TeufP. The MSS. diflfer only in giving the 

 later form ^''u^£:V>j, Kock and Meineke give the easy reading 

 4'oyhTtt<i (Herwerden 4'oyhzo<;') of which Teuff. well says: "Die 

 Aenderung il<oyhTu<i liegt zu nahe als dass sie wahrscheinlich 

 waere." Why in the world Aristophanes should have pre- 

 ferred to say "when the flea became cold," rather than "when 

 the wax cooled," is a question that has not been answered and 

 the reading is suspicious. Certain, however, it is that (I'oyziar^ 

 did not come from the easy 4'^'/J'^~"^- Nothing is gained by 

 Blaydes' adoption of d'oyj^.m [nn^ Tztxri) and he will find no 

 followers. 



Kaehler's i^'vyzTna'. (proleptic) is worth noting. 



It is characteristic that while Blaydes gives (/'uysitrc in his 

 text, we read in the commentary "-(/'oyzitTrj sc. rfj (l»'>Urj. Sed

Blaydes changes o-spwpDvsi^ to to -spKppovzJ'i^ (an exceed- 

 ingly slight change and a very clever one), on the ground that 

 o-ep(ppttvE:i<i should govern the genitivf and because the sense 

 demands -£pi<fp(r^ET<i. 



We would at first glance expect the same verb, but the 

 reading is supported by all the MSS. and the scholiast, and the 

 verb on closer inspection seems purposely varied. Socrates 

 means, "I am speculating about the sun," (for this sense of 

 ■KepicppovEv^ cf. 741, 1503), but the words can be taken as, "I 

 am making no account of Helios," and it is in this sense that 

 Strepsiades takes them. This meaning of Ttspifpo^e'iv does
