A. i. 655, 6 Iustus uterque fuit: neque enim lex aequior ullast Quam necis artifieis arte perire sua: where Hilberg remarks ‘hier ist es Merkel, welcher das längst eingesarkte ᾽st zu neuem Leben erweckt,” and adds that, however, such appended ᾽st is rare at the end of hexameters, the syllable being in thesi, as opposed to the pentameter, the last syllable of which is in arsi.

page 158 note 2 The Ibis stands ou a different footing. The metre is throughout singularly careful, and if the work is genuine, is quite worthy of the poet's best days. Few however can doubt that it has been, to say the least, interpolated. I may refer sceptical readers to my article in the Cambridge Journal of Philology for 1885, pp. 98—106.
