In the last volume of this Journal (LXXI, 1951, 133–140) Professor D. L. Page disagreed on some points with an article of mine (CQ XXIX, 1935, 85–95) on the text and metre of Simonides fr. 13 Diehl (the ‘Danae’ fragment). For most of his disagreements he made out what I may be allowed to call a convincing case, but on some points his arguments fall short of conviction, and one of these seems to call for immediate comment.
