I have preferred *elthōsi tē mimēsei, tauta*, following eight codices, among which are six of the most ancient, with other mss. supporting this reading which read *mimēsei tautē*. *Epelthein tē mimēsei* = to imitate, to represent the image of something (see below, col. 169 A 6). Garnerius has *elthōsi, tēn mimēsin tautēn*, with six mss., but of the more recent ones. Sturzius has *tē mimēsei tautē*, in the same manner. Ibid.

Most mss. *athroan*; but ABGHS *athroon*. *Ho autos poiētēs e. e. m. g. dokein* G. This passage presents no small difficulty, since at first sight...

it is uncertain whether the relative pronoun should refer to the word *hodos* or *kakia*. But Basil, in the words immediately following, *the same poet said*, intimates that he is adopting the opinion of Hesiod. From Hesiod, therefore, must be sought the interpretation of Basil’s words. Behold the passage from "Works," verse 285: *But it is possible to choose Vice even in crowds / Easily; the way is short and she dwells very near.* The word *naiei*, which means to dwell, must have as its subject not *hodos*, the way, but *Kakia*, Vice, as a personified being. Moreover, since Hesiod has not yet made mention of the way that leads to Virtue, this is not a discussion about the two ways in relation to each other, nor about the proximity of Vice and Virtue, but about the vicinity of the seat of Vice, which concerns us. Ginius ruined the image and the sense by interpreting it thus: *It is easy to accumulate vices. Near their seat is a narrow way.* For *athroan*, which all editions of Basil have, I read *athroon*, in accordance with the five manuscripts mentioned above. The sense demands an adverb that corresponds to the adverb *hiladon* used by Hesiod.

Col. 572 B 5. *protrepomenos* GK; *parakaloumenos* M. Ibid. 7. *tauti dielthein* H. *dielthein* mss., except for LNPRT. In the margin U: *gr. diexelthein*. Ibid. 10. *eis tauta* H; *eis touto* G; *eis touton* IKM; *eis toutous* LNPT; *pheronta tous* MNPT. Ibid. 11. *apodechometha* eleven codices, among which are five of the most ancient. *apodehometha*, with *o* superscribed L. Ibid. 13. *pasa men poiesis* CFHMOV. Horat. Epist. 2, book 1: *quid virtus et quid sapientia possit / Utile proposuit nobis exemplar Ulyssem.*

Col. 572 C. *hekista ge* E. Ibid. C 3. *peripesonta* M; *aidesthai* R; *aidesai* U, but in the margin A indicates that it should be added, *aidesai pros* O. The word *aidesai* has become obsolete; *aidesthai*, as one manuscript of the fifteenth century and a scholiast of the sixteenth read it, is no longer in use; there is, therefore, no reason why we should prefer the former to the latter. Boissonade, however, thinks *aidesthai* should be restored. *Aidesai* enjoys an active sense and signifies to gain reverence for oneself. *Aischunen ophēnai* sounds like "to appear shameful." Therefore, literally: "So far is he from appearing naked and doing anything shameful." — *Ton strategon tōn Kephallēnōn*. The island of Cephallenia, near Ithaca, was the chief part of Ulysses’ domain; therefore, in Basil, he is called the leader of the Cephallenians. The matter here concerns Nausicaa, the daughter of the king of the Phaeacians. Cf. Odyss. VI, 127. Ibid. C 4. *tosouton dein* S; *phanenta monon, oude aischunen* GH; *tēn basilida phanēnai monon* M. Nine codices have *monon* after *ophthenta*, though in one it is marked for deletion by dots. Ibid. 7. *tosoutou axian nomisthēnai tēn aretēn* GH; *nomisthēnai tēn aretēn* E. The seat of the Phaeacians was the island of Corcyra, now Corfu. That they were given over to pleasures is attested by their king, Alcinous, addressing Ulysses (Odyss. VIII, 248): *Dei d’ hēmin dais te philē kitharis te choroi te.* [We care for nothing else but to enjoy banquets, music, and] dancing. [alt-version omitted] According to Aelian (Hist. div. VII, 2), the Phaeacian life was a soft and effeminate life. Horace, when he was in doubt as to where he should make his home between Baiae and Gabii, writes to Vala (Epist. XV, book 1) that he should report to him: *Tractus uter plures lepores, uter educet apros; / Utra magis pisces et echinos aequora celent, / Pinguis ut inde domum possim Phaeaxque reverti.* Ibid. 8. *eis ekeinon* EGILS. Ibid. 10. *tote einai* I; *allo ti euxasthai* M. Ibid. 13. *boōnta ton Homēron* E. Ibid. 14. *hēmin* R. Ibid. D. *gymnon ophthenta* T. GHLS. Ibid. *apodeixai* M. Ibid. D. 2. *ta men gar*.

1836. Ibid. 4. Ten codices, among which are eight of the more ancient, read *o oion* separately. Ibid. 7. *hothen kai* R. Col. 573 A. Mss., except for ABCEFGHLS, omit *to* after *eipein*; in I, between *eipein* and *all’*, there are two letters on an erasure; *all’* is omitted by ABCF. The verses cited here are found in Brunck’s Analecta, Vol. 1, p. 70, no. 14. Ibid. A 3. *aei* nine codices; *atei* AB; in the margin A, *biaion* is indicated should be read instead of *empedon*, and *akousai* instead of *aei*. Ibid. 4. *anthropois, allot’* R. Ibid. 5. *ta Theognidos echei* C. See Theognis in Brunck’s *Gnomica*. Theognis was a Megarian and flourished around the fifty-ninth Olympiad, five hundred and forty years before Christ was born. Ibid. 6. *hontina dai kai* N; *hon tina dē anthropois phēsi to t.* G. Ibid. 7. *iste mēden* HNRSU. Ibid. 8. *Kios* HR; *ho Kios* KLU; *ho Chios* IO; but *K* is written over *ch* in I, and *Keios* is in the margin of O. *Kios* A; *sophistēs Prodikos* in some mss., fourteen omit *Prodikos*, but in one it is rewritten in cinnabar in the margin. In K the scribe took *Kios* for a proper name, for which he rewrote it on the edge of the book, as is the custom to rewrite the names of authors cited in the text. Claudius de Pontoux, an old French interpreter of the year 1561, also believed *Keios* to be a proper name; for he interprets: *Céus sophiste*. Prodicus of Ceos lived in the time of Democritus, Empedocles, and Hippocrates, during the eighty-sixth Olympiad, in the year 432 before Christ was born (Cyrill. Alex. Contra Julian. book 1). Ibid. 11. *ho dē kai* E, but it had originally been written with a circumflex accent. Ibid. 15. *tou andros kai tēs dianoias* G. Ibid. B 3. *trapoito* PT; *trapenai tēn hodon* G, but *hodon* by the first hand; *petai* is written above *penai* and *tōn* above *tēn*. A scholium in A and B refers to *kommōtikēs, hilarotētos*, and in U, *anti tou hilarotētos epimeleias*. K in the text, *hypo anti hilarotētos kommatikēs*. Ibid. 9. KPS, *exērmenon*, and perhaps this is what should be read. *tauta te goun* N. Ibid. 10. *eti pleion* G; *hyposchomenēn* N. Ibid. 11. *Heraclea meth’ heautēn* N; *tēn de deuteran* T.

Col. 575 A. *oute men oun* IH. Ibid. A 2. *tesparai* LR, in one stroke. Ibid. 5. *diastasiazei* R. Ibid. 7. *hē glōtta omōmosen* H; *had’ hē phrēn* F. These words are read in Euripides’ *Hippolytus*, v. 618, ed. Schaef. in -18. Cicero, in book III of *De Officiis*, interprets them thus: *Juravi lingua, mentem injuratam gero.* Ibid. 10. *tō Platoni*.

Ibid. 13. *apodexometha* [we approve], thirteen manuscripts; *apodexōmetha* [we may approve] G; since *de kai* [also], nine manuscripts, among them seven of the older ones.

B. *apoleipometha* [we are left behind] U; *eloidoreito tis ton Perikleā, ho de ou proseiche* [someone was reviling Pericles, but he did not pay attention] G; but in the margin, the common reading. Ibid. B 4. *diērkesan* [they sufficed] FHU; C is missing here; in C the place is an erasure; the rest, fifteen in number, *diērkēsen* [it sufficed]. Ibid. *apheidōs elaunōn* [driving unsparingly] G; but the common reading *plynōn* [washing/besmirching] is superscribed. Ibid. B 5. *mellōn* [being about to] AFK; *mellon* BD; *mellon* P, with omega corrected to omicron; *melon* [caring for] EGHIVS; *heautō* [to himself] S. Ibid. 7. *diaphtheiroi* [might destroy] PT; *diaphtheirei* [destroys] K; *diaphtheirē* [may destroy] IN; but three letters from an erasure are superscribed over the *ē*, and there is no vestige of an accent over the *ē*. *diaphtheirē* U, with *a* written above the diphthong *ei*; *diaptharē* [was destroyed] AR. Ibid. 8. *palin tis* [again someone] R. Cf. Plutarch, *De amore fraterno*; Gregory Nazianzen, in his poem *De ira*. Stobaeus (LXXX) attributes these lines to Socrates. Euclides of Megara, distinct from Euclides the mathematician of Alexandria, who lived a hundred and more years later, was one of the disciples of Socrates. Diogenes Laertius wrote his life (book II). Ibid. 10. *hileōn genesthai, auton* [to become propitious, to him] G; but above it is written *hleōsastai auton* [to appease him]; H, *hileōs esesthai autō* [to be propitious to him], and perhaps that is the true reading. Most manuscripts *hileōsastai*; NPT, *hileōsestai*, more correctly. Ibid. 12. *toioutōn paradeigmatōn* [of such examples] MO, omitting *ti* [at all]. Ibid. 13. *oupō katechomenou* [not yet being held] G, *ēdē* [already] superscribed over *oupō*.

Ibid. 12. *epoiēse* [he made] G; *poiēsai* [to make] superscribed. Ibid. 13. *en andrianti* [in a statue] H. Ibid. 14. *ho deina epoiēse* [so-and-so made] DG; but in G the common reading is rewritten. (See supra, col. 1816, Ducae’s note on this place.) *Kai tosoutou* [And of so much] fourteen manuscripts, and older ones too; which reading should not be admitted unless *kai* is deleted; the remaining mss. have *tosouton* [so much], and it should be read thus. Ibid. *apamynasthai* [to ward off] G; *tauta de sch.*, with two dots over *de* in G; BV *t' auton* [that same] with apostrophe and spirit. Ibid. D. *pollou axia* [worthy of much] G; *axion* [worthy of/a thing of worth] superscribed. Ibid. 11. *tois tēlikoutois* [to such as these] BDH; *toutei* D; *touto* G: *touti* superscribed. Ibid. 3. *typtonti se* [striking you] GL; but in L *se* is marked with two dots. Ibid. 4. All mss. clearly *tosoutou*. Supra col. 572 C 4, Basil used the same way of speaking. Sturzius [suggests] *tosouton*, from which the sense is elicited only if *kai* is placed before it, as above C 14. ^D Ibid. 5. *amynasthai* [to ward off] F; *apamynesthai* [to ward off] ABCNRU; *epamynesthai* [to assist] PT; *to de Perikleous* [but that of Pericles] F.

The words *kai tō tois echthrois euchesthai* [and to pray for enemies] are missing in V; *ta gatha alla mē eparasthai* [good things, but not to curse] is omitted by B; *ta agatha* [good things] in ten mss.; *tagatha* [the good things] all the rest, except B which is missing here; in L, however, *ta agatha* is in the first hand. Ibid. A 3. *katarasthai* [to curse] G, with *eparasthai* [to curse/wish-evil] superscribed. Ibid. 5. *ouk eti an* [not yet would] H; *diapisteuseien* [might distrust] R; *diapistēsei* [will distrust] D, as in L in the first hand.

Clement of Alexandria cites the verses of Homer to which Basil here alludes; they are: "Gods did not make him either a digger or a plowman, nor in any other way wise in any art, but he failed in every art." Plato attributes the *Margites* to Homer (Alcib. II, t. II, p. 147 ed. Serrar.); Aristotle also, without questioning it like Basil, assigns it to Homer (Poet. c. 4). In the same place Aristotle says that the *Margites* was a certain comic satiric poem akin to the *Iliad* in its tragic mode. Lucian teaches that men who are foolish and stupid are designated by the name *Margites* (Hermot., t. I, p. 545; Philopseud., t. II, p. 465, ed. Salmur.). Demosthenes was accustomed to disgrace the common people against Alexander by calling them with the name of *Margites*. Ibid. *ei boulē* G; *oute arotēra* DHK.
