Before the first line preserved iv e/iavrov aTtOTcvi^aifu we have 

 to think of something like 7teQiY]\paf.nqv (Sg6%ov. Then /.ir] di] [rolro 

 åga or ovtcoq vosl; cpX^vacpa as the editors supply I think 

 inappropriate in the mouth of the female servant Doris whom 

 we expect to cheer her despairing master in a somewhat more 

 polite vvay. L. 3 %wq\g io\v air^g ael. L. 4 ol[ov Xéyeig according 

 to the editors, but we should more probably expeet oi[^6v O-iqav 

 or some other command from the soldier than an outburst of 

 surprise (ol[uai /luv ov would be too weak). His eagerness is 

 checked by the following condition. L. 5

 as the editors and Blass supply the lacunae; Wilamowitz better: 

 lav TXQod-vu^d-r^g ay{ax\iog [rolv&évd* exetv, adding „sicher, dass 

 der ganze Vers die Bedingung, unter der Glykera sich versohnen 

 will enthielt". Weil: lav 7tQoSvf.ir]d-7 l g ax[«x]w-g, \yevY]Oexai (or 

 perhaps better ro gov uéoog?), which he translates: „si ty y 

 mets de la bonne volonté, sans arriére pensée, cela se fera", 

 but Weil does not cite any parallel instance of axayxog TtQod-vf-ielGd-ai 

 used in this concise way. Following Wilamowitz we might per- 

 haps read ay.ax.wg avtrjv tyeiv or Iquv, but if we take the answer 

 of Polemon into consideration : oly IvXlitoi/i av ov&ev, we are 

 led to supply a promise of good behaviour or due respect in 

 future as the condition imposed upon the violent soldier through 

 Doris by Glycera: e. g. hy.ay.aig åéov véfteiv. And in the same 

 way I should prefer a more direct reference in the following line 

 to Polemon's admission of the correctness of Glycera's demands : 

 ovy. evXircoi^ av ovd-év, ev tov[t evXafiei (yvXafiov)

L. 9 the editors give in this form: ayovoov ■ eiGeXtjXvtf ■

 address a weakness of his own character rather than his mistress
