page 33 note 1 For those who have not access to the facsimile I should explain here that there is extant part of a second column, which from its eighth line onwards begins about three letters further to the right, a coronis after 1. 7 marking the end of a poem.

page 34 note 1 A small piece of the stem of ρ and its joining with the round part (the lower part of the stem was curved more than usual to the right); most of the upper part of the stem of ε and the beginning and end of the horizontal stroke; part of the horizontal stroke of γ, left half of the centre of χ;bottom of ε.

page 34 note 2 If they do belong to this side, they are too far to the left to belong to col. 2 unless we suppose the scribe to have reverted to the initial line abandoned after 1. 7 of that column ; they are too far to the right to be a correction or explanation of anything in col. 1 ; they are isolated, and so cannot be the end of a scholion. If not a correction of something in col. 2, which is perhaps hardly likely, the letters, if they belong to this side, might stand for the numeral 810. As this numeral is probably far too large to indicate the number of a poem in a ‘book,’ this fragment would then have belonged to an edition of Alcaeus which was not divided into books. It should be noted, however, that there is no numeral opposite 1. 8 of col. 2, where a coronis marks the beginning of a new poem.
