Translation

[sc. This word is spelled] without the [final] n among Dorians.1 And Pindar [ does] likewise. "For I come from the countryside [a)gro/qe] from Khariklo and Philyra".2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Κάτωθε· χωρὶς τοῦ ν παρὰ Δωριεῦσι. καὶ Πίνδαρος ὁμοίως. ἀγρόθε γὰρ νέομαι παρὰ Χαρικλοῦς καὶ Φιλύρας.

Notes (2)

  1. 1i.e. in Doric dialect. In fact ka/twqe is found outside Doric, in Middle/New Comedy (e.g. Eubulus fr. 16.1 Kock [15.1 K.-A.], Alexis fr. 128.3 Kock [133.3 K.-A.]), as well as in Doric (e.g. Theocritus, Idylls 4.44). ↩
  2. 2A misquotation of Pindar, Pythian 4.102-3 (web address 1): a)gro/qe ["from the countryside"] should be a)ntro/qe ["from the cave"]. Khariklo was the centaur Chiron's wife, and Philyra his mother. ↩
