I.—THE L A T E S T E X P A N S I O N S OF T H E ILIAD. The printed texts of the Iliad are remarkably uniform; so much so, indeed, that a collation of Ludwich or Monro-Allen with a text printed early in the nineteenth century, may prove surprising at the first blush. Attention will be given in the present article to no variant smaller than a single line, and under that limitation the uniformity of our printed texts is theoretically absolute. In his edition of the Iliad (1804) Wolf printed 15,693 verses, and the numbering of our editions still points to the same total, each verse retaining the number it bore in Wolf's edition. In practice this harmony is disturbed by the use of brackets, or small type, or by the relegation of certain verses to the critical apparatus, where they must join company with certain other verses that have never made their way into a printed text. Such differences, however, do not shake our concept of a poem of 15,693 lines, and this is what we have in mind when we speak of the modern or printed vulgate. The chief foundation of this vulgate is the minuscule manuscripts which in turn exhibit such a uniformity, that we can abstract from them the idea of a medieval vulgate. On comparison of the two concepts the first fact to be noted is that the printed vulgate has been expanded by the addition of certain lines. These are: © 548. 550-2 taken from [Plat.] Alcib. I I i49 d ; I 458-61 from Plut. de poet. aud. 26 b ; A 543 from Arist. Rhet. I I 9, p. 1387* 3 5 ; 2 604/5 from Athen. i8i d . In this direction, however, Wolf did not go so far as Barnes

( 1 7 1 1 ) who had added n 82 s . P 99 s . T 137a. Y 66 a , the text and sources of which are recorded in L u d w i c h ' s commentary. None of these lines is found in any manuscript, nor—to anticipate slightly—in any papyrus. P a p y r i covering the passages in ® I P have not yet been discovered; those available f o r the others can readily be found in the list given below. N o w the medieval or manuscript vulgate is not a sharply defined idea. On the contrary it is rather like a composite photograph; consisting of a solid nucleus—the lines on which all manuscripts a g r e e — a n d of a nebulous halo—the lines f o r which the manuscript testimony wavers. T h e latter are in comparison with the printed vulgate distinguished as plus or minus verses. T h e distinction, however, is of little v a l u e ; partly because it is to a certain extent merely a matter of accident whether a verse has been printed or not, but more because in comparison with an older stage of the tradition all of these w a v e r i n g lines prove to be plus verses. Disregarding this distinction, therefore, I shall turn next to the task of marking off the boundary between the nucleus and the nebula of the tradition as exactly as possible. A s exactly as possible, because it was to be expected, and is obvious, that the manuscripts suffer f r o m ' s u r f a c e corruption', to adapt a metaphor that M r . M u r r a y has rendered obligatorily fashionable. T h i s w e must imagine away. T h e criteria f o r recognizing it a r e : 1 ) the need of the line f o r the construct i o n ; 2 ) the ease of the mechanical explanation of its omission ( h a p l o g r a p h y ) ; 3 ) the restriction of the variant to a small number of manuscripts. T h e application of these criteria cannot be made by rule of thumb, it requires judgment and tact. Consequently, it need occasion no surprise that, while the differences between the extremes are readily recognized, there should remain a number of doubtful cases. Criteria f o r reducing the number of these, I hope to develop in the course of the present article. T o facilitate the checking of my w o r k I give a list of the passages which I regard as due to s u r f a c e corruption—including in it instances of transposition of lines, since these may either originate in the omission of a line or lead to it. F o r many of the passages reference to Ludwich's commentary is sufficient; but some I have placed in a second list either

because the omission, tho poorly attested, is in itself possible, or because the variant is common to a small g r o u p of manuscripts, or occurs in a manuscript of importance, 1 or finally because it coincides (in m y belief accidentally) w i t h an omission or athetesis of an ancient critic.

Ath., p. 98 ff., as evidence that Didymus had no access to the editions of A r i s tarchus. T h e conclusion is unwarranted. In reality the sentence must have been the introduction to a note correcting the belief that the line was non-Aristarchean. There is no reason to doubt that the line stood in the second edition of Aristarchus (at least) and was there athetized. Finally sch. T and Eustathius say that for ^ 332-3 Aristarchus read a single line. T h e story is pronounced incredible by Ludwich, A H T . I. 487, and may well be due to a confusion of Aristarchus and Aristophanes. For these passages w e have little papyrus evidence; but K 395-7 is so attested, while the intrusion of two lines between II 466 and 471 in P. M o r g a n could hardly have passed unnoticed.
