  1. 1The manuscripts read die/chen "went out through"; die/cuen "cut up" is the reading of the editio princeps (Demetrius Chalcocondyles, 1499). The learned owner of manuscript M noted: i)/sws die/chnen "perhaps [it should be] die/chnen" (i.e. "scratched thoroughly" from diacai/nw). ↩
  2. 2Aelian fr. 88a Domingo-Forasté (85 Hercher). ↩
