page 193 note 2 If Maas's dating of Gregory in the tenth or eleventh century (Byz.-neugr. Jahrb. ii [1921], 53–55) is accepted, then the fuller version of the commentary, printed by Walz in Rh. Gr. vii, cannot be by him, as it contains several references to John Tzetzes. There is room for further work on the commentaries on the Περ μεθδον δειντητος, which are particularly rich in quotations. Cf. H. Rabe, ‘Aus Rhetoren-Handschriften’, Rh. M. lxiii (1912), 127–51.
