page 4 note 1 The correction would seem (see Mr. Blaydes's Adversaria) to have been made also by Naber

page 4 note 2 I may add that it may further be noted as an interesting coincidence and perhaps a confirmation of what 1 have just written, that vv. 1–8 + vv. 21–30 (omitting, of course, 24 and making the consequent corrections) amount to 17, the same number that Antigone's opening speech and Ismene's answer make up together, as the play now stands. Verses seem to tend markedly to fall into groups of 17 in the Antigone.
