^{page 276 note 3} Gow's fine ear for catching stylistic nuances is best exemplified by his discussion on εὐξώμεσθα in I. 136.

^{page 276 note 4} Some of the notes in the commentary are clearly meant for the student, and not for the scholar, in accordance with the aims of the series in which this edition is published.

^{page 277 note 1} e.g. p. 4 n. 4 the ‘Misc. Aless. in hon. [sic] Rostagni, A. is the ‘Miscellanea di Studi Alessandrini in memoria di A. Rostagni’, Torino, 1963; footnotes like p. 27 n. 4 (‘L. Eldick, in a Münster Dissertation of 1928’) compel the reader to waste time in consulting the usual bibliographical repertories. In the discussion (p. 120) on καιρίμην it would have been better to add Proleg. after Lobeck. Path.Google Scholar
