3 αἲλινον ὠκυμρῳ με λεχωδι τοτο κεκφθαι | τς διοδωρου γρμμα λγει σοφης (An epitaph speaks.)

4 In Heliodorus V. 2 (p. 124, 16, Teubner): οἷον ἠρινς ηδνος αλινον ᾠδν ν νυκτ μυοομνης, to which Lobeck appealed as conclusive proof of the Scholiast's interpretation, αῖλινον is only conjecture (the MSS. have ἒ(ἒ)λειον, αἲλιον, and ἂλιον), proposed by Commelinus on the strength of this very passage of Sophocles.
