- Title
Anmerkungen zu einigen Papyruskommentaren zu Pindar.
- Authors
Benelli, Luca
- Abstract
This article will discuss, in two separate parts, two different ancient commentaries on Pindar. The first, P. BeroL 13875, may be an abbreviated version of an origin commentary of Didymos: the words πελε / ϰυφ[ό]ρανἵππον (P. Berol. 13875 II. 9-10 Pi. Fr. Dub. 339a M.) represent a fragment of Simonides, not of Pindar. The sourc of School in Pi. N. 4.3/5 may be an abbreviated version of Theon's commentary on Pindar. In the second part of the article, some passages of the P. Oxy. 2451 A Fr. 2, the second commentary, will be discussed. Pi. I. 3 and 4 are two different victory odes. Thematic similarities or repetitions of individual words between the end of a poem and beginning of the following poem can also be found in the corpus of other lyric poets, especially in Sappho. Only with the order of the manuscripts do the similarities and repetitions between the end of Pi. I. 3 and the beginning of Pi. I. 4 become clear: this may have been the intention of the original Alexandrian editors.
