^{page 256 note 1} On Quintus' debt to Apollonius Rhodius cf. F. Vian, Recherches sur Us Posthomeriques de Quintus de Smyrne (Paris, 1959), 102, who, however, confined himself to general observations. Ph. I. Kakridis, Κ⋯ινηος Σμυρναῖος: Γενικ⋯ μελ⋯τη τ⋯ν Μεθ' ᾬμηρον κα⋯το⋯ ποιητ⋯ τους (Athens, 1962), 211–12 underestimates Quintus' debt to Apollonius.

^{page 256 note 2} I am indebted to my colleague, Dr. G. Giangrande, for many valuable suggestions regarding this note, a first draft of which he was kind enough to read.
