tions, p. 46) is really to be regarded as metrical, which I 

 doubt. Allen's view requires us to assume the addition of 

 e^(jo in verse i and the interpolation of either irai or ev in 

 verse 2, along with the shortening of a to d in fjueiMva^evoi. 

 This seems to me improbable, especially as thereby we gain 

 only rough verses at best. 



7. pe^aOi, Hall's reading of Coll. 70 {Jour. Am. Or. Soc., 

 xi., p. 221), which he takes as imperative of pe^w ("do sacri- 

 fice ") is not in the smallest degree probable.

1. Final -di {i.e. -a) sometimes appears as d by the disap- 

 pearance of the I. For the, examples, see below, under Diph- 

 thongs, § II, 4, 2) ; 13, 3. Whether this change ever occurred 

 in the interior of a word is extremely doubtful. Deecke 

 thinks he finds an instance in ''AS/7 Coll. 126, which he takes 

 for "Aihr]L {i.e. " Athrj). But the other difficulties of the pas- 

 sage ro{v) 86fxe{v)"A{L)Sr){i) fitaaaTO) (see below, § 23, 4; 26, 3) 

 are so great that small probability attaches to the correctness
