Translation

Unknown to mankind. Herodotus the historian wrote a Life of Homer,1 rather more fitting than this.2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ὅμηρος· ἄγνωστος τοῖς ἀνθρώποις. Ἡρόδοτος δὲ ὁ ἱστορικὸς ἔγραψε βίον Ὁμήρου, μᾶλλον τοῦδε ἁρμοδιώτερον.

Notes (2)

  1. Entry lacking, Adler reports, in ms S.
  2. 1The pseudo-Herodotean Life of Homer (quoted extensively in the previous entry, omicron 251); it is translated in full in M. Lefkowitz, The Lives of the Greek Poets (London 1981) 139-55. ↩
  3. 2Referring to omicron 251, perhaps? ↩
