correct (ovo[xa) into (6v6[xa)Ta ctol Iv oupavw, and accordingly v. 8

may refer to some epic tale of some magician or god who at- 
tained to the said supreme power through the knowledge of 
the mighty “barbarous names” — or we must correct Icr/sv

think that £0£py£T7]g cpapjxaxojv is a suitable epithet for Hermes 
or is on the whole good Greek. The emendation £u[p£)Ta 
9 aptxaxojv (cp. v. 33) is very near to hand, when you have to do 
with Hermes-Thoth. £uSiaX£y.Toc Kenyon corrects very appro- 
priately into £uSLaXAaxTog “placable” with a note of interrogation; 
but we may perhaps retain the word, referring it to an adjective 
£uSi.aA£XT 05 (cp. Epiph. 37 B, C) = £66[XLAog “easy to speak with”. 
V. 31 we must correct anxT^v into aAx-i^v, cp. v. 5. Bo§oaav — 3 o3otov. 
V. 31 [x'/]v(l) —. V. 38 Icrav, not lav, cp. e. g. pap. Lond. 77, 15.
