TRANSLATION: This too (he says) maliciously. For it is because he (Menelaus) wants to convict him (Orestes) of being hated by the gods that he says ‘when did you begin your madness?’ For he wanted to ascertain whether the sickness is longstanding and hard to cure.

COMMENT: Unless there has been a major confusion of two notes expressing different opinions, μὴ θέλων in MVC must be an accidental mistake, or a very clumsy attempt to make Menelaus more kindly toward Orestes. Compare the absence of μὴ in O’s version 401.02.

COMMENT: The third sentence appears to be a Triclinian contribution. τύμβη (not in LSJ or other lexica so far) is a Byzantine vernacular term for a mound. Joannes Pediasimus uses it several times of mounds of various large dimensions, and the Acta of several monasteries use the term in describing heaps that hold boundary markers referred to in legal descriptions of land parcels. I do not believe it is necessary to emend τύμβην to τύμβον with Arsenius (followed by subsequent editors, who did not know of the reading of T).

Then Menelaus: Do not speak of the death of your father. That is not wise. For even if you killed your mother because of your father, you have done terrible things. For you should not have been the one imposing death on your mother, but (it should) rather (have been) the verdict of the people. Next, Orestes says that Apollo decided it and therefore I did not do terrible things, since the one who decided and commanded was a god. Then Menelaus: He decided on this terrible act, being ignorant. Then Orestes: I do not know whether the gods are ignorant or wise, but this I do know, that we are their slaves and we obey them, of whatever nature they are, whether wise or unwise. Then Menelaus: If he himself commanded you, how is it that he does not pity you in your sickness and madness? Then Orestes: Perhaps he will show pity, for the divine always acts slowly.

TRANSLATION: Observe the natural talent of the poet, how through both these characters, Orestes and Menelaus, he suggests the contradictory opinions of humans. For since some people say that the divine avenges those who suffer, while others say that the gods are indifferent, through Orestes he affirms the view that those in distress are aided by the divine, but through Menelaus he denies this through sophistic argumentation. From that point he made a preliminary exposure of the web of the argument. For after Menelaus has pronounced his speech from the line ‘I know them, but I do not want to name them’ and what follows that, and Orestes has been moved toward reproach of the Eumenides, Menelaus in a certain way turned him away from his point, by saying ‘these (goddesses) drive you mad because of kindred bloodshed’, namely (the goddesses) whom you (Orestes) disparage and do not want to be called Eumenides when you say ‘avoid speaking in the manner of a well-educated person’, in other words, avoid speaking the name Eumenides that is applied to them by those who are well educated and wise, and say rather the name that is proper to them, that is, ‘alastores’ (‘avenging demons’), Telchines, murderesses. In response to ‘they drive you mad’ Orestes said with intensity ‘Woe is me for the persecution by which I am driven, wretched man’, and the other said in contradiction ‘It is not a shocking thing for those who have done terrible things to suffer the same’, meaning do not reproach the goddesses, but rather yourself, the one responsible for suffering terrible things because you did them. Next, when Orestes tries to disown the deed and refers it to Phoebus, Menelaus rejected this point by saying the divine is not ignorant of what is good and just. When he (Orestes) persisted in the objection and said ‘we are slaves to the gods’, that is, we do what we are commanded to do by them even if we do not really understand what the gods are, Menelaus, desiring to confirm his own argument that that deed did not come from a god, but from strong emotion, says that by all means the god would have come to your rescue if he had in fact given the order. And when that one (Orestes) said ‘the divine procrastinates’, that is, acts slowly both in bad and good repayments (for human action), because the divine is such by nature, that other (Menelaus) added sophistically the point ‘how swiftly the goddesses pursued you for the bloodshed of your mother’, that is, demanded their due. He tricked him (Orestes) with the intervening question, ‘how long since your mother breathed her last?’ When that one (Orestes) replied with the quantity of time, he (Menelaus) refuted at the point the claim ‘the divine procrastinates’ with his ‘How swiftly they pursued you for the bloodshed of your mother’.

TRANSLATION: The one (Orestes) hinted that Apollo was responsible for his madness, but the other (Menelaus) thought he was speaking of the death of his father. Therefore, blocking him out of a defence, he says: ‘Do not speak of the death of your father, nor when you yourself did the wrong refer the wrong to your father’. For it is foolish for a person who has himself committed a wrong to attach the blame to another.

He (Menelaus) said this as one who dismissed as unimportant the reference (of the action to the god) on the grounds that perhaps Orestes made the story up and is trying in this way to escape the reproach for the murder of his mother.

TRANSLATION: Menelaus here wants to show Orestes that Apollo did not command him (to carry out) the killing of his mother, but that having performed this of his own volition, once he suffers misfortune, he puts Apollo forward as a pretext. He (Menelaus) indicated this by saying ‘being rather ignorant’. To which Orestes counters by saying: We are subordinate to the gods, whatever they in fact are, whether ignorant or not.

COMMENT: The plain accusative of duration was confusing to some later readers (although it is perfectly idiomatic in classical Greek), as a few of the subsequent scholia show. The claim that the dative πόσῳ χρόνῳ would have been appropriate is slightly odd, since ‘in/within how much time?’ is much more commonly ἐν πόσῳ χρόνῳ than plain πόσῳ χρόνῳ.

TRANSLATION: Tricked in relation to this (the sophistic move in the preceding lines 421–423), to flatter him (Menelaus), Orestes offered the reply ‘not wise, but you are a true villain toward your friends/kin’. This verse is one with an apparent contradiction. We speak of as apparently contradictory the utterances that do not fit with the phrase positioned before them, but are ameliorated by thought or construal. For observe that it is insulting to Menelaus to put it this way, ‘You are not wise, but a true and complete villain toward your friends/kin’, as if it were the proper thing for the suppliant to abuse the one he supplicates. But the verse is ameliorated by the construal as follows: ‘You are not a clever villain toward your friends, but you are a true wise man’. The thought is like this: One who is really wise is called a true wise man, but the sophist and deceiver and speaker of mere plausibilities is called a clever villain. So he (Orestes) is saying to him (Menelaus) by way of flattery: You did not trip me up sophistically, Menelaus, after I said that the divine is slow to help out, by retorting ‘How quickly the goddesses pursued you for the bloodshed of your mother’, but you are a true wise man, not a clever villain toward your friends, in other words, not one who misleads his friends with sophistry and plausibility.

TRANSLATION: When Menelaus reproaches Orestes, the latter says to him: Since you reproach me openly, you are not clever, but a truthful villain, truthful in that you are saying falsely nothing that you say against me—for you speak truly when you say the Erinyes are avenging me because of the murder of my mother—, but villainous in that you are reproaching me in very clear terms. For you should have colored your words and pronounced them with a view to consolation rather than to causing pain, if you were a clever villain.

COMMENT: This (obvious) gloss certainly is attested in witnesses that carry many Moschopulean glosses, but its absence from XaXbXoGr along with the lack of a cross in T have led to its being classified not as Moschopulean, but as in a category shared with 30 other glosses in Or. 1–500, where Triclinius has a gloss that is not attested in at least two other standard Thoman sources but is shared with Palaeologan witnesses that have eclectic collections of glosses.

TRANSLATION: From Nauplius and Clymene the daughter of Catreus were born Oeax and Palamedes. Palamedes went off to Troy and produced the greatest benefits for the Greek army. For when they were suffering famine in Aulis and were displeased and disagreeing about the distribution of the grain, first by teaching them Phoenician letters he arranged that the distribution was equitable and beyond reproach among them. Secondly, also by busying them with dice games he overcame their apathy (or disrespect, i.e., of the leaders’ authority?), and he discovered measures and pebbles for counting/voting so that he acquired a big name among the Greeks. Agamemnon, Odysseus, and Diomedes became jealous because of this and contrive the following sort of plot against him. For they took a Phrygian captive while he was carrying money to Sarpedon and they compelled him to write about betrayal in the Phrygian alphabet, as if it were a letter from Priam to Palamedes. This fellow they put to death, but they bribe an attendant of Palamedes to place the written tablet together with the Trojan money under Palamedes’ cot. They themselves came forward (in assembly) and denounced the hero for treason and ordered that his tent be searched. When the tablet and the money were discovered under the cot, Palamedes is killed by stoning. Hearing of this, Nauplius came to Ilium to seek justice for the killing of his son, but when the Greeks disrespected him in order to please their kings, having sailed back to his homeland and having learned (later) that the Greeks were sailing home, he went to Euboea; and having watched for a storm, he lit signal fires around the headlands of Euboea. The Greeks, believing the place to offer a good landing-place, approach it for mooring and are destroyed on the rocks.

TRANSLATION: The story about Palamedes in a more extensive and more detailed version goes thus. From Nauplius and Clymene the daughter of Atreus were born Oeax and Palamedes. The latter went off to Troy and produced the greatest benefits for the Greek army. For when they were suffering famine he assuaged them by his invention of letters and dice games with tokens and some other amusements, turning themselves toward which they postponed their feeling of lack, so that because of these things Palamedes acquired great renown. Odysseus, Diomedes, and Agamemnon became jealous of this and conspire in the following plot against him. For they took a Phrygian captive while he was carrying money to Sarpedon and they compelled him to write about betrayal in the Phrygian alphabet, as if it were a letter from Priam to Palamedes. This fellow they put to death, but they persuade an attendant of Palamedes to place under Palamedes’ cot both the money and this letter they had trumped up. They themselves came forward before the army and denounced the hero for treason and insisted that his tent be searched. When the money and the letter were discovered under the cot, Palamedes is killed by stoning. As he was dying, he said: ‘Farewell, glorious Truth. For you died before me’. Hearing of this, Nauplius came to Ilium to seek justice for the killing of his son, but when the Greeks disrespected him in order to please their kings, he left with nothing accomplished. And first sailing along the Greek territories he arranged that the wives of the Greeks should take other men as husbands, in the belief that those (at Troy) had perished. Then, when he heard of the return voyage of the Greeks, he lit signal fires around the hollows of Euboea that are called Caphareus and Timber-devourer. Drawing close to this place in their belief that there was a harbor, they were completely destroyed.

COMMENT: Matthiae’s emendation ἀστραγάλους inserts a term too similar to πεττοὺς, whereas explanation of the movements of the stars is associated with Palamedes elsewhere (Soph. Nauplius, fr. 432 Radt; Philostratus, Heroicus 33.7; Sch. Hom. Od. 5.272k Pontani) and also is among the gifts of the alternative discoverer, Prometheus (Aesch. Prom. 457–458).

TRANSLATION: Oeax was the brother of Palamedes, who having gone to war at Troy along with the Greeks and having earned admiration for wisdom like no one yet of those who had ever existed, incurred the envy of Odysseus, Diomedes, and Agamemnon and was killed by stoning. Because of this, his brother Oeax, trying to take vengeance on Agamemnon—for that is what is meant by ‘assigning to my father the blame for the hateful deed at Troy’—joins in seeking the death penalty against Orestes. That is also why when Orestes is asked by Menelaus who it is who pursues him, he says ‘Oeax’. This Palamedes is said to have invented seventeen letters that were not yet in existence at that time, but people were using the letters of the Phoenicians, different groups (using) different sets of them. He also invented board games with tokens to assuage the Greeks, and signal fires and weights and pebbles for counting/voting and studies of the stars.

TRANSLATION: ‘Musos’ meaning ‘miasma’ is from ‘muō’ meaning ‘close (one’s eyes)’ and from ‘ossos’ meaning ‘eye’. For the eye cannot endure looking upon such things. ‘Misos’ meaning ‘madness’ and ‘battle’ is from not (‘mē’) having equality (‘iso-’).
POSITION: s.l.
COMMENT: The first etymology includes the traditional connection with μύω; other sources lack the explicit claim about ὄσσος, but Eust. in Il. 3.262 (I.649,5–7) comes close, τὸ γοῦν μῖσος ἐκ τοῦ μύειν παρῆκται, ἀφ’ οὗ καὶ τὸ μῦσος· μύει γὰρ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἐχθροῖς ὁ μισῶν, ἤγουν ἀλλὰ ὄσσε πάλιν κλίνει μηδὲ εἰσορᾶν ἐθέλων; also Eust. in Il. 20.9 (IV.358,6–7) ὡς γὰρ μύω μύσω, φασί, μῦσος, εἰς ὃ μύομεν μὴ ἐμβλέπειν ἀνεχόμενοι, ἢ πρὸς ὃ τὰ χείλη μύομεν οὐ προσφωνοῦντες; cf. Sch. Opp. Hal. 1.6 μῖσος τὸ μῖ ι δηλονότι ἀπὸ τοῦ μισῶ, μῦσος δὲ τὸ ἁμάρτημα ἀπὸ τοῦ μύω τὸ καμμύω· καὶ γὰρ ὁ ἰδὼν ἁμάρτημα αἰσχρὸν μύει. The second etymology is a more elaborate version of that in Orion 98,18 μῖσος. παρὰ τὸ μὴ ἴσον εἶναι; Et. Magn. 588,50–52 μῖσος: παρὰ τὸ μὴ ἴσος εἶναι, ὡς ἀνάρσιος ὁ ἐχθρός· ἢ ἀπὸ τοῦ μύω μύσω, μύσος καὶ μῖσος, ὃ πάντες μύοντες ἐκφεύγομεν.

TRANSLATION: First the citizens, secondly Oeax. Therefore he (Menelaus) follows up with ‘who else?’ so that he may fill out the three. Some say by three he (Orestes) means the Erinyes, because he said previously ‘I thought I saw three maidens similar to night’. Some (others) say the three are awareness (of guilt), pain, and madness. And in the commentaries of Callistratus (this) is written: ‘One might seek (in vain) an answer to the problem in what sense he has said ‘through three’, unless (it is) because Agamemnon, Diomedes, and Odysseus participated in the murder of Palamedes’.

COMMENT: Bergk (Poetae Lyrici Graeci 4th ed. fr. 61 = 3rd ed. fr. 64) identified this as a poetic fragment from Sch. Gu Hec. 1064 in Dindorf. This scholion was assumed to be Thoman by West, but, like a number of other notes of Gu, is revealed not to be Thoman by its absence from the standard Thoman witnesses and from T. The phrase is also found in longer quotations in Nicephorus Callistus Xanthopulus, Hist. ecclesiastica 2.42,77 (PG 145:872B), and (without τὸν) in ps.-Sophronius, Vita Mariae Aegyptiacae, chap. 1 (PG 87:3.3705,34).

COMMENT: It seems likely that this derives from a misunderstanding of a damaged or corrupt gloss. If the gloss was on πετρώματι, both βλῆσις and βλῆμα exist, and this could be a conflation of them. Alternatively, there may have been a gloss such as λιθοβολήματι, πετροβολήματι, λιθοβολησίμῳ or even *λιθοβλησίμῳ (unattested, but there is one example of an adj. μεταβλήσιμα in Sch. vet. Hes. Theog. 81), damaged and then mistaken for a γράφεται variant (adjusting the form to the shape of πετρώματι could have produced βλησήματι).

TRANSLATION: For the twenty-fourth year for Apollo Helios.
POSITION: marg.
COMMENT: It is unclear what this means or whether its insertion is inspired by anything in the text in the vicinity of these lines. There is no reason to believe that someone calculated the age of Orestes as 24 years old. For the possible connection of that number with Helios, Michael Zellmann-Rohrer notes (in personal communication) that in one astrological system known from Ptolem. Apotelesmatica (Tetrabiblos) 4.10.4–12 the 24th year falls within the division of human life that is under the power of Helios.

TRANSLATION: For in fact the wise say that such (friends) are so called by homonymy (equivocally, having the same name but different natures/definitions), not indeed by synonymy (having the same name and the same nature/definition). For those who possess both the name and the action of a friend are friends by synonymy.

COMMENT: The contrast of ὁμωνύμως/συνωνύμως is very common in commentators on Aristotle’s Categories from late antiquity through to late Byzantine authors and crops up in Photius, Arethas, and Psellus; but no connection specifically with the word φίλος is found in TLG.

TRANSLATION: These are the children of Oebalus the son of Perieres: Tyndareus, Icarius, Arene, and an illegitimate son Hippocoon born of Nicostrate. After the death of Oebalus these children fell into strife over ruling. Icarius, having made a compact with Hippocoon, drives Tyndareus from Sparta. The latter resides in the farthest outskirts of Lacedaemonia and marries Leda, daughter of Thestius son of Aetolus. And from her he got as children Castor and Polydeuces and Timandra and Clytemnestra and Helen. But later Heracles, having slain Hippocoon and his sons on the occasion of their killing of Oeonus and having brought Tyndareus home from Phrixe and Pellane, entrusts the rule of Sparta to him. For Heracles was married to Deinaneira the niece of Leda.

COMMENT: For the genealogy and names, cf. ps.-Apollodorus, Bibl. 3.117, 3.123 [where the names Arene and Icarius are correctly transmitted], Sch. Hom. Il. 2.581–6 [ἴκαρος and ἄρνη codd.], Od. 15.16 [ἰκάριος with no variant in the witnesses checked by F. Pontani], Sch. vet. Lycophr. 547a Leone [ἴκαρος codd.], Sch. Tzetz. Lycophr. 511b [ἴκαρος and ἄρνη codd.]. The corruption to Hippothoon seen in one place in M is matched in the mss of Sch. Hom. Il. 2.581–6, where Bekker corrected the name. | For Pellana in Laconia as the residence in exile of Tyndareus, see Paus. 3.1.4 and 3.21.2. Schwartz accepted Meursius’ Πελλήνης (Johann Meurs, Miscellanea Laconica, Amsterdam 1661, 4.8, p. 275), but Pellene normally refers to a city in Achaea near Sicyon. Phrixa is in Triphylia, a region which could be said to be Elean or Arcadian, and the location is nowhere else associated with Tyndareus (or with Heracles or Hippocoon or Oeonus). Thus it is not clear why it is included here. | In the outer margin beside this sch. V2 has added λήδα on one line and after a blank line ζεὺς τῆς / κρήτης / βασιλεὺς. This is probably a comment on the adjacent sch., indicating the alternative parentage of Polydeuces and Helen with the rationalizing variant that Zeus was really a human king. This seems more likely than that it is meant to be a note on 464 Λήδα. | Deianeira is daughter of Althaea, who is sister of Leda; hence Barnes’ correction ἀδελφιδῆν.

TRANSLATION: Zeus, turning into a swan and having intercourse with Leda, the wife of Tyndareus, caused her to give birth to two eggs, one with a single yolk, the other with two yolks. And from the egg having a single yolk they say that Helen was born, but from the one with two, Castor and Polydeuces, who lived on alternate days. And the cause of such a form of life was this. For whatever in the two-yolked egg came from the semen of Tyndareus became Castor, and therefore he was mortal, since he was the son of a mortal, Tyndareus. But whatever came from the semen of Zeus became Polydeuces, and therefore he was immortal. So then, when Castor was about to die, Polydeuces begged Zeus that he be given Castor as the companion of his own immortality and that he himself share in Castor’s mortality. For this reason, then, both of them lived on alternate days. People also interpret them as an allegory of day and night.

COMMENT: I have found no other source for the idea of the single-yolked and double-yolked eggs, which is perhaps Thomas’ own clever detail. | Dind. notes here that λεκυθ‑ for λεκιθ‑ is ‘frequens in libris scriptura’, and see also the evidence in Thes. Graecae Linguae s.v. λέκιθος (col. 178). Since the manuscripts cited here are unanimous in using the form in upsilon, this was clearly how Thomas and his circles believed it should be spelled, and I do not change it. The compounds μονο‑ and διλέκυθος are not attested elsewhere.

How, that is, (with ‘hōs’ in the sense) excessively, the future is an evil in one’s not knowing (it), that is, not recognizing (it)’. For Tyndareus did not expect to find Orestes there, and therefore having spotted him unexpectedly he says in astonishment that the future is an evil. For the insane are like this, wild in their eyes like some serpent. For the eye of a serpent casts forth gleaming flashes just as (the gleams) of fire.

And here ‘drakōn’ is used for ‘echis’. For these latter are not born from eggs, but they are born alive and as they are being born they break apart the bellies of their mothers, as Nicander says: ‘Having devoured the belly they were born motherless’. Therefore he says he (Orestes) is an ‘echis’ as a mother-killer.

COMMENT: The printing of the first words as εἶδος ἀντὶ γένους had been passed along in all editions since Arsenius (who may have gotten it from Mu, a copy of B) until Schw. in his Addenda et Corrigenda (I.xiv) noted that the γένους still printed in his text should be changed to εἴδους; Dindorf had already collated the correct reading εἶδος ἀντὶ εἴδους. It is not clear how early the sloppy correction was made in B; one would have guessed in the 15th or 16th century, but note that the original hand in Pr ca. 1300 wrote γένη here. (It appears that he first wrote γένης to make a genitive ending to suit ἀντὶ, but immediately he covered the small sigma with the large epsilon of ἔλαβε.)

COMMENT: Although it is possible that Triclinius has unconsciously read ἀποπάλλει as ἀπολάμπει, one must also consider whether ἀπολάμπει is in fact the gloss intended by Moschopulus, and ἀποπάλλει is an early corruption that got copied almost everywhere. On the one hand, στίλβω and λάμπω are often paired, and the latter is often a gloss on the former; on the other hand, ἀποπάλλω is found half a dozen times in connection with ἀστραπή in Byzantine authors, so its use in 480.07 could be conditioned by the object ἀστραπάς rather than the verb στίλβω.

To which he (Menelaus) counters: ‘Indeed it is the Greek way always to honor someone of the same family as yourself’.

COMMENT: On the basis of M, this was assigned to 485 in Dindorf (the first to edit this note); Schwartz reassigned it to 486 on the basis of B. It appears that Dindorf’s choice is the more probable. Neither line appears in the paroemiographic corpora, but whereas 486 is attested elsewhere only once (Sch. Ap. Rhod. 2.238), line 485 is imitated in an epistle of the Roman period or later (Apollonii epist. 36,4), and then quoted or alluded to in middle Byzantine authors: Tzetzes explains it in Chil. 6.92 περὶ τοῦ ‘βεβαρβάρωσαι χρόνιος ὢν ἐν βαρβάροις’ and quotes it as the basis of a conceit in his epist. 13, p. 21,3; Michael Choniates uses it on three separate occasions, Demetrius Chomatenus once, and Andreas Lopadiotes has it as an example in Lex. Vindob. χ 12 (Guida = 8 Nauck) s.v. χρόνιος. | The final words are not legible in B on the Gallica image, but can be read on Turyn’s photograph.

COMMENT: The usage of φθάνειν here is odd. The two other instances of φθάνω governing τὴν βούλησιν/τὰς βουλήσεις in TLG have the usual sense, ‘anticipate’: Joannes Chrysost. Homiliae, PG 59:117,48–49 οὐ φθάνει τὰς βουλήσεις ἡμῶν ὁ Θεὸς ταῖς δωρεαῖς; Manuel II Palaeologus, Epitaphium in fratrem Theodorum, CFHB Thess. 26:275,31–33 οὐ γὰρ δυσμενῶν εἷλε πόλεις, τὰς μὲν πολιορκήσας τε καὶ παραστησάμενος, τὰς δ’ αὐθωρὸν τῷ πολέμῳ, τὰς πλείους δ’, οἶμαι, φθάσας αὐτοῦ τὴν βούλησιν καὶ πρὶν ἢ πορθηθῆναι παραδοθείσας; The unusual usage here probably results from a rewriting of the lacunose version 487.03.

TRANSLATION: Everything deriving from necessity/compulsion is slave (enslaved) and subservient, as if to say we do everything according to necessity. And according to the judgment of the wise all things deriving from compulsion enslave humans and make them subservient. Because he said previously about Orestes ‘and if he suffers misfortune, he must be honored’, for this reason he nows also says ⟨ lacuna ⟩. The meaning is that it is necessary to honor Orestes because of their kinship. He says these things adopting a pose, not in earnest. But Aristophanes (the Alexandrian scholar) says ⟨ lacuna ⟩ All that comes about by necessity enslaves, or makes humble, according to the judgment of the wise. It can also be taken like this: Every compulsory thing is slavish, that is, subservient, and we do everything according to necessity because it enslaves everything.

TRANSLATION: After Menelaus said, in response to Tyndareus’ line ‘You’ve been made a barbarian by being so long among barbarians’, that it is a Greek practice to honor one’s kinsmen, Tyndareus says: ‘Yes, what you mention is a Greek practice, but this too is a Greek practice, that no one be above the laws. You, therefore, Menelaus, break the law in addressing a murderer. For the laws forbid associating with them’. To which Menelaus replies that everything that comes about by compulsion is slave (enslaved) in the judgment of the wise. That is, everyone—both ancient and modern, poets, philosophers, historians, orators—clearly all the way throughout in their writings proclaim that all people are slaves of necessity and this (necessity) conquers all, and not just human beings, but it even extends its sway far enough to be over gods. For they say that ‘Not even the gods do battle with necessity’. At any rate, even if I seem to you to break the law by associating with and speaking to a mother-killer, nevertheless it is under the compulsion of nature that I do this. So, if you examine such compulsion side by side with the law you put forward in argument, you will find this to be more powerful than the law. Those who say that ‘doulos’ (slave/enslaved) is used to mean ‘making one a slave’ are speaking complete drivel. Or, one can put a comma after ‘that by necessity’, (and understand) as follows: everything that exists by necessity, in the eyes of the wise is slavish. That is, all things caused by compulsion wise men judge to be slavery.

REF. SYMBOL: Zu
COMMENT: The stems ‑πλύθη‑ and ‑πλύνθη‑ are both legitimate aorist forms, but the former outnumbers the latter by more than 4 to 1 in TLG texts; in the tradition of some authors (e.g. Galen, Joannes Chrysostom.) both forms are attested.
Or. 496.01 (496–506) (tri rhet) τετράκωλος περίοδος —TZcr
TRANSLATION: Four-part phrase.
POSITION: intermarg. T, marg. Zcr, both written vertically
COMMENT: On the rhetorical term τετράκωλος περίοδος as specifically Triclinian, see Turyn 245; Schartau 1973, 58–59; Smith 1975, 200 n. 74. The four parts are apparently 496–498 ἐπεὶ γάρ … ποτέ, 500–502 χρῆν … μητέρα, 502–503 τὸ σῶφρόν … ἦν, 504–506 νῦν δ’ … κτανών (alternatively, 496–498, 500–503, 504, 505–506). The same label is applied to Hec. 16–27 (meaning 16–18, 19–20, 21–24, 25–27: temporal protasis, apodosis, temporal protasis, apodosis) in T, and Zc lacks the label but these same subunits are annotated s.l. with πρῶτον κῶλον through τέταρτον κῶλον. Triclinius wrote horizontally in the margin of L (106r) the same phrase applying to Hel. 60-63 ἕως μὲν … γαμεῖν με (same pattern of clauses as in Hec. 16–27). | In T, lines 496–500 are the last of 63r and 501–507 the first of 63v, with the two words thus on different pages; there is a dicolon after the second word. This caused the scribe of Ta to place the two words as separate annotations (each with punctuation), for he has on 75r τετράκωλος in the right margin by 496–500, περίοδο (sic) in the left margin at 501–505, with the final sigma in the left margin of 506, the first verse of the 75v. Zc too has (on the same page) a dicolon after each word and a gap between them, as if they were two annotations. At Hec. 16–27 T has dicolon after περίοδος, while Ta has no punctuation.

Or. 496.03 (tri rhet) διήγησις περιληπτική —T
TRANSLATION: Comprehensive narrative.
POSITION: marg.
COMMENT: These two terms are conjoined elsewhere only in a distinction between διήγημα and διήγησις found in Nicolaus, Progymnasmata 12,2–4 οἱ δὲ πλείονες διήγημα μὲν τὸ περὶ ἓν πρᾶγμα, διήγησιν δὲ τὴν τῶν πολλῶν περιληπτικὴν πραγμάτων, ὡς ποίησιν καὶ ποίημα and in similar terms in Joannes Sardianus, Comm. in Aphthon. Progymnasmata 16,14–16 διαφέρει δὲ διηγήσεως, φησί, διήγημα· διήγησις μὲν γάρ ἐστιν ἡ πολλῶν πραγμάτων περιληπτικὴ ἔκθεσις, διήγημα δὲ ἡ περὶ ἑνὸς πράγματος ἔκθεσις. With this term Triclinius is noting the same phenomenon that attracted the use ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς ἄχρι/μέχρι τέλους in 493.01, 494.01, and 496.02.

COMMENT: Metalepsis (translatio) as a στάσις (status) in forensic rhetoric applies to an argument used to defend against a charge; it is a tactic of arguing that the legal action should not have been brought in the way it was.

COMMENT: The scholion is written in the left margin of the verse, with π and above it ε (which could stand for ερι), followed at the same higher level by τ and an iota (with diaeresis) that continues downward into a squiggle so that the whole may be taken as compendious for ικ, and suspended above this character is ὸ (for ὸς). If περιττὸς is what lies behind this, it would be ‘the particle (σύνδεσμος) is superfluous’, someone’s reaction to the lack of a δέ to answer μέν.
