I am a book, the very first draft; Tzeτzes, even though a bad writer, was the first who drafted me: you are looking here at the tokens well known to everyone. |
| Comment | Pizzone (2020: 679) on the third verse: 'The verse in any case does not scan properly, not even as a pentameter as the editor labels it. It is interesting that in the manuscript there is a blank space between εἰσοράας and πᾶς, as if the author had left room to complete the verse later.' |
