Comment | Iriarte (1769: 364, n. 6): 'Dictionem hanc, obliteratam et ad vivum quasi resectam, sic legendam putavi. Quae vero punctis distinximus, ea minime apparent, quippe omnino abscissa, perinde ac caetera membranae pars inferior. Quae quum tali vitio laboret, licet integra videatur sententia; est tamen cur dubites, an quid aliud amplius in illa incolumi scriptum olim fuerit.' Taking into account the metre, the expected number of syllables, and the epigram layout in ms. Matritt. 4648 (olim N. 90), f.367v, we may assume that verse 3 contained additional words after παμβασιλεῦ, which may have been written on the next line in the missing part of the folio. |
