as the true cause of his i§Qt,g, as an enemy who has tåken 

 him by "main force'' as he slyles it in his military language. 

 The wanting word may have been o'i/.toi [tov rtad-ovg or yoXov 

 or Tijg voaov, but more probably ofytoi {Avgc 3 6f.tt']. 



L. 10 we might continue in this way : cog xara xqarog /ti 

 eiXycpag £\idoT > oiåapwg I ådeXcpov, ovyl f.ioi%6v, but the v <3' in 

 the next line makes it necessary to supply Glycera as the subject 

 of some action previous to evd-ug hcaqnjvovv, e. g. e\l7ts yovv 

 l/noi I adelcpov ovyl /liol%6v. L. 12 where the editors have left 

 a lacuna Wilamowitz has filled up with his energetic a[dixeiø&ai 

 åoxiiJv much more successfully than Weil with his weak åjXoytotcog 

 ftavv, and in fact the gap must have given the direct cause of 

 the soldier's sudden fit of rcaqoivla:.

L. 13 the editors ccTtiolo^iriv and Wilamowitz with Kaibel 

 aTtrjyyo^irjv, but it may have been more natural to mention the 

 immediate result of his outburst of fury just now as Doris is 

 coming to announce Glycera's return than suddenly to turn upon 

 his own attempt of suicide.

It is superfluons to remark how pregnant the oath of Doris by 

 Aphrodite is just now. For oxaxov, an underskirt, I should 

 prefer otoXrjv (if not avrixa). Much trouble the uncertain 

 £7t£^v t rat£ seems to cause. The editors translate: "her father 

 was supervising", her dressing? or did he make further inquiries 

 into their relationship and her adventures? — or as Weil: „son 

 pére continuait de sonder ses sentiments"? wich seems to be 

 equally superfluous and strange. The facsimile does not help 

 much, but what we expect is rather that the father himself did not 

 oppose in any way the reconciliation of his daughter Glycera
