Abstract

In this brief apolelymenon, the analysis of text and colometry of L and P reveals how the ancient colometry and the multiple lessons discarded by modern conjectures that have converged into recent critical editions, including the standard edition of Euripides, Diggle’s OCT, have the potential to be original. These are πάτρα (v. 1016), ἄριστος (v. 1017), ἰᾱχήσω (v. 1027), τάδε(v. 1032), ἐκποδὼν φόνου (v. 1036) and ἀμφὶκίοσιν (v. 1038). The lesson πρὸς πατρὸς (v. 1032) is remarkable: it is present in some codices recentiores never considered because they are codices descripti. Perhaps it is also the lesson of L, before Triclinius’ intervention: the deletion of sigmato obtain πρὸπατρὸς can be contextualized in the most trivial of his interventions, the creation of aniambic trimeter. The modern scholarly editions certainly represent the ineludible end point in the long journey of Euripides’ text. But it may be that some stages of this long journey have not been well understood.
