Extract

The publication of Dr. Warren E. Blake's edition of the romance of Chariton has at last made it possible to know what the tradition of the text amounts to and form some opinion of its principal weaknesses. That these include lacunae will be obvious to anyone who even glances through his apparatus criticus; I think there are at least three which neither he nor any of the former editors has noted. The supplements I propose are of course mere examples of how they might be filled; their existence seems pretty certain, but no more than the general sense of what is missing is likely to be got unless some new papyrus or other unexpected find puts us in possession of more evidence.

See further Vürtheim, J., Stesichoros' Fragments und Biographie (Leiden, Sijthoff, 1919), p. 28 sqq.Google Scholar, and Jacoby, note on his 23rd fragment of Akusilaos in Fragmente der griechischen Historiker. The dates of both are too vague for us to say whether or not Chariton could have used the pseudo-Apol-lodoros.
