^{page 339 note 1} As a constant practice, I mean: I cannot trace all the sporadic notices of single instances, e.g. Heimsoeth Wiederherstellung 56, Verrall ‘On a Chorus of the Choephoroe’ (Journal of Philology ix).

^{page 342 note 1} Irregular responsion is most rare in Aeschylus. I add here one case cited by Frey (p. 42), whether through error or not I cannot tell: Supplices 350 = 364 Δις κλαρου. Frey calls, special attention to these rhymes ‘durch ein Dutzend Verse von einander getrennt!’
