Extract

There is an epigram preserved in two lives of Pindar, that in the scholia Ambrosiana and the rambling biography of the poet by Eustathios. It is perhaps most conveniently accessible in von Christ's larger edition of Pindar, pp. ci and cii, and runs as follows:

ἦ μάλα ρωτμάχτε καὶὔμητισ λιуὑφωνιινδάρ‘nu; ἓκλατ θуατέρεσ πινταί, αρуθεν ἦμoσ ἴκντκμίζσ ἔνδoθι κρωσσῦ λειψαν' ἀπ' ༀπὺ ξεινησ ἀθρόα πρκαïῆσ.

IIρωτμάχη Eustathius. 2. Éκλαταὶ ινδάρ θуατέρεσ East. et Ambr., corr. Gerhard.

page 121 note 1 In what follows, and indeed throughout this note, I am much indebted to Mr. M. N. Tod for epigraphical information and friendly criticism. Especially I have to thank him for drawing my attention to two of the epigrams mentioned below, and for reminding me that a Homeric line E 204, beings with ῶ μáλα—a circumstance which was quite enough to set the fashion. Several corrections in detail are also his.
