ΑΙΣΧΥΛΟΥ ΠΕΡΣΑΙ. THE PERSAE OF AESCHYLUS. EDITED WITH INTRODUCTION, NOTES, AND A MAP, BY A. O. PRICKARD, M.A. FELLOW AND TUTOR OF NEW COLLEGE, oxford. ἄγε δὴ σιώπα πᾶς ἀνήρ' λέγ' Αἴσχυλε. London: MACMILLAN AND CO. [The Right of Translation is reserved.] PREFACE. Though this is not a critical edition, the text has been carefully revised, and the editor has endeavoured to call attention to every passage where the reading given differs from that of the Medicean MS. otherwise than in points of accent, orthography, or punctuation, shewing to whom the alteration is due. His information as to the readings of the MSS. is derived from Hermann's edition of Aeschylus and from Merkel's transcript of the Medicean MS. This MS. has been referred to by its usual symbol M; others are mentioned only in general terms. In the numeration of lines, and doubtless in many other points, Dindorf's Oxford edition of 1852 has been followed. The Scholia are quoted from Dindorf's Oxford edition. In the notes the editor has aimed at interpreting as simply and clearly as was in his power |
