V. 488 [JL£T<(a Så) ETrixaXåaac — viz. toc ov6[jt.aTa TauTa ra 
Y£Ypa[jL[xåva — £La£Xi>£ (and not eventually [jL£T£7r£i,Ta).

by the Agathos Daimon. Then the formula continues thus:

of course abbreviations for |axpa[jt,a]Y^a[j!-apt. v£pouToc7[ouaA7]0'|. V.

But I do not understand the whole drift of the preceding sen- 
tence nor its conexion with the following sentence, that “the four 
fundaments of the universe were moved”. V. 523 åx^aXE xaaa^a^ 
“hreak the egg and throw it away”, consequently the TTEpcxahaLpEiv 
previously mentioned must only mean lustrare in the sense of 
circumferre (Verg.). V. 524 xa! lAaiat; xXaSou^ — xai corrupt 
for £aT£ 9 avoj[jt.£voc? The following words (£7raLp£ Så —) clearly 
open a new sentence. V. 527 aTroXi^ag ( = a7rol£^a^) pocpTjaov (sc. 
TO qjov) “peel off the scale and swallow it”, cp. Arist. av. 673

“in due time”, but here probably “at once”, auvE)(;wg or TrapauTa

TTEVTE ojpwv”, for whlch explanation I see no reason; Wess. has 
correctly to SEiva xpaY[i.a, but has read the next two letters 
as £ cp)" 
V. 540 The title of the divination by use of a lamp may 
have been ÅvyvojuavTelov, written Au)(_vo[jLavTTav: elov was at that 
time in slovenly speech simply pronounced tav; both forms — 
Au^voijiavTEia and )^u^vo[jLavTEiov — may have existed side by side,
