Abstract

Several critical observations and notes to the four verses, which have been preserved in full on that papyrus, as well as remarks to the Oxford commentary. Lyne’s conjecture to verse 2 is to be accepted. These verses do look ancient, but do not look to be composed by a good poet (let alone Cornelius Gallus).
