page 18 note 1 I regret that in the Oxford Iliad on B 558 it is said, ‘ Ar. videtur non legisse.’ The reverse is the case: he athetised it, and you cannot athetise what you do not read. I have collected the evidence, C.R. 1901, p. 9. Aristarchus athetised the verse, not on the strength of the Megarian statement, but because it disagreed with other passages (
, as Strabo says). Aristarchus was quite wrong, as Mr. Lang says, p. 46.

It is wrongly referred to by Mr. Lang on p. 85 as J.H.S. xvi. The reference on p. 84 should also be to J.H.S. xxi., not xvi., and on p. 146 to J.H.S. xix. not xx.
