page 217 note 2 On p. 197 the entry ‘πνδο⋯ριν Flöte 153, 18’ is misleading. Both here and in Malalas 179. 16, cited in support of this interpretation, the instrument is a lute; what has misled Rydén is the use in both passages of αὐλ⋯ω. But in late Greek it is frequently used of playing stringed instruments; cf. ‘blow’ in jazz circles. This interpretation is supported by the context, in which Symeon ηὔλει δ⋯κα⋯ ἔλεγεν τ⋯ν εὐχ⋯ν το⋯ μεγ⋯λου ᾝ⋯κωνος, a difficult feat to accomplish while playing a flute.
