Remarks on some of the Greek Tragic Fragments. 225 In v. 4, e'ort (tkottos is merely an error for emo-Korros, " hitting the mark," which is to be constructed with the verb (eppnrrep ?) at the beginning of the next line. cV* and fori are frequently confused : e.g. Cho. 170, 519. Aldus gives eVi. Dobree came near the truth when he conjectured rols 5' dyKvXrjTo'is Koo~o-d(3ois iirio-Koira "Oaacov tp.ap T)f3a<ra %)p ecpiero. Msch. Promethei. frr. 1, 2 (180). Paley (Terminalia, p. 71) seems right in separating the two fragments quoted by Galen, the neptpig, as he remarks, being in the first evidently a whirlwind, in the second probably a volcanic vapour. This would lead us to refer the second passage, eeva(3ov de, p.i] ere 7rpoo-(3ar] aTop.a 7rep.(pi' mKpa yap, kov 8ia fafjt drpLol, to the Prometheus irvp<p6pos, where it may have been Hephaestus' warning to Prometheus not to come too near the volcano Mosy- chlus, where he was working.

Is it possible that a8a>p (adap) may belong to the preceding sentence, AiVx^Xos . . . iv rais To6ti<tiv a8av, and that the quotation in full may have been as raiaiv dypais, or rats pep yap dypais, or something of the kind? jEsch. inc. fr. 7 (279). peas ' 07rcopas qpiK ap apdj} crra^us, o-tikti] pip avOis dpcpipaprjo-ei irrepvl;. None of the editors has remarked on $apdfj : yet it has no sense if taken from galpa, while ^apdeco does not seem to occur. ^wV avgrjBfj might be suggested, but the true reading is probably egavtirj, as in Pers. 821, vftpis yap e{-ap0ova impTTOicre GTayyp *Arqs, o6ep irdyKkav top |a/x5 Otpos.
