HESIOD.—The classification and numerations of MSS. here followed is
that of Rzach (1913). It is only necessary to add that on the whole the
recovery of Hesiodic papyri goes to confirm the authority of the
mediaeval MSS. At the same time these fragments have produced much that
is interesting and valuable, such as the new lines, _Works and Days_
169 a-d, and the improved readings _ib_. 278, _Theogony_ 91, 93. Our
chief gains from papyri are the numerous and excellent fragments of the
Catalogues which have been recovered.
_Works and Days:_—
S Oxyrhynchus Papyri 1090.
A Vienna, Rainer Papyri L.P. 21-9 (4th cent.).
