1 Smolenaars 164, taking hic (353) = ‘here’ = ‘at Thebes’, persists in his view that the reference is not to the Python, but to the pestilence which had recently ravaged Thebes. It is difficult to visualize how this could be pictorially represented.

3 elicita persists in T. C. Klinnert's revised Teubner edition of Klotz, who, however, in the Corrigenda et Addenda of his first edition (1908) abandoned elicita (‘uocem… inanem esse concedo’) in favour of his later suggestion iniecta.
