Extract

Dr. G. S. Kirk has suggested (C.Q. N.S. xiii [1963], 51–52) that the last line of this fragment represents the bridegroom as being ‘fantastically ithyphallic’. This seems quite likely; but it would be more so if a parallel for the unusual use of the expression ‘a great man’ that it involves could be adduced.
