2 I do not share his relatively low opinion of Cycl. (see 14 n. 34 and 57).

3 He might at least have referred to his own article (CQ n. s. 36 [1986], 350f.). This interpretation has its attractions—indeed it seems to me the only way of making sense of the lines, assuming that they make sense in their present context—but I would have preferred a verb other than Тολμήсω in 1078.

6 Gow ought not to have used Soph. Trach. 769 to make the equation with пέпλοс in 758, for, in the former, хιТών appears in a simile.
