V. 6 'Epi-fruia ( = 'OpEiOuia) Mspo-Tj? cp. the 'AXfraia mentioned 

 Def. Att. p. XIII (Ant. Flucht. 1.). V. 7 ol^oljol (3[pa]x e^iXtj.

 jcoi = xoi(va) I should think certain because of the horizontal 

 stroke above these letters. This xoi(va) may have driven out a 

 preceding [/.oi which we need to complete the sentence. I should 

 prefer the supplement as given here to an eventual 7r[apacrra] 

 [xoi (as we read pap. Berol. II 79). 



In v. 18 I think 7rap[s8p]sya(o a fit supplement, cp. pap. Bibl. 

 Nat. 1979 6—vjpso-iav alongside of 7nxpe8peusi. Kenyon's 77ocpaib]T£uato 

 inserts a very rare poetic word, and which seems moreover to 

 be too long for the lacuna. V. 19 sv5s8uo-[e]ts. V. 20 au Se Xéys

 <x7ro/.uai? = = å7roXuasig. Kenyon's reading dbraiTvjasis the author 

 himself characterizes as "very doubtful", it certainly is not in 

 the pap. V. 24 x.aTa7rpay{H/ias[Tai. ?rav]Ta 5É aoi <puAa£si. V. 25 

 for Kenyon's 7rp]o7jat we expect this : "the old maid is sure to 

 indicate to your beforehand whatever your enemies plan against 

 you" ; cpavEpov x[o-yjai is to long for the lacuna. 



V. 31 is to be read otaog ("on the whole", s. Kenyon's note)

aoi EaTai (vj ypaug se), "unreproachable". V. 33 otocv [xa9y]g tog

 of a horizontal stroke ; perhaps tog aoi u7r/jpÉT7j[xsv] vj ypaug, "when 

 you learn (as soon as you learn) that she has done your will".
