¹ I am deeply grateful to Professors James Diggle and Christopher Collard for constructive criticism and helpful comments.

³ The idea of κλαγγ describing an echoing, repetitive sort of sound is well represented in the examples offerered by LSJ (‘scream of birds, esp. cranes… howling of wolves… baying of dogs’).

⁴ Diggle gives a list of occurrences of the responsion ‘gl’ ~ ‘wil’ in Ewipidea: Collected Essays (Oxford, 1994), 195 and 473, n. 149, to which I add I.T. 1101~18 and Hel. 1481~98. It might be helpful to offer the following remarks on Diggle's examples: El. 169~92 is ‘ia + gl’ ‘ia + wil’ and I.T. 1092~1109 is ‘ibyc’ ~ ‘wil’ (on which see Parker, L. P. E., The Songs of Aristophanes [Oxford, 1997], 448).CrossRefGoogle Scholar In Diggle's edition of Hypsipyle in Tragicorum Graecorum Fragmenta Selecta (Oxford, 1998), the lines numbered by Bond ‘fr. I.ii.5–6 ~ I.iii.6–7’ (= 21, 22, 63, 64 TrGFS) are not regarded as being in responsion (cf. Diggle, Eikasmos 6 [1995], 40); Hyps. 63–5 is printed in TrGFS as ionic.

⁶ τροχυ τρμουα is the necessary accusative that completes the sense of ζαμιλλασᾰμ∊υος. Lest anyone be temped to take ὃυ (the object of καυ∊) ζαμιλλασμ∊υος, we may recall that earlier on in the play Menelaus says ὦ τᾰς τ∊θρππους οἰυομωι πῖσαυ κτα 1 πλοφ μλλας ζαμιλληθ∊ς ποτ∊ (386–7): the dative is used for the person with whom the contest is held (οἰυομωι), not the accusative, which complements the sense of the verb, specifying the nature of the contest in question.

⁷ But here Diggle's øβου is certainly right: cf. The Textual Tradition of Euripides’ Orestes (Oxford, 1991), 119.

⁸ At Hel. 181, Triclinius (Tr) was wrong to correct L's λω to λου (as was Stephanus in correcting πυρσι to πυρσο at Here. 361).
