Publisher's Synopsis
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ...more conventional abbreviations occur: y'= ydp, 8' = 8, K--Ku, p'= yAv, is =irapd, Tr=iroi7/rjs, ifi-=7rprfy, f = Tsv, p=$ril or (paat, =flcrC. As will be seen from the excerpts quoted below, the scholia stand in no close relation to the extant scholia, of which the principal source for the Achamians is the Codex Ravennas. The papyrus notes are usually not only far shorter but also less frequent; vv. 392-444, for instance, are covered in five lines whereas in Dindorf's edition they occupy four pages. On the other hand words or phrases are sometimes here selected for comment which in the extant scholia are passed over (cf. 11. 9, 29, 35, 37, 38, 44, 68), and the notes are occasionally quite full, e. g. those on vv. 614-7! similarly a more precise explanation than that of the scholia is noticeable in 1.55. Verbal agreements occur here and there, but they are nowhere striking and scarcely amount to more than is natural in a treatment of the same subject. If, indeed, there be any historical connexion between the annotations of the papyrus and those represented in the mediaeval MSS., it is of a very slight and distant character. In the commentary below Schol. means the extant scholia, which we cite from the edition of Dindorf, with some modification from Rutherford's transcript of the Ravennas. Fr. (a) Col. i.
