2004 (return) [ In the Homeric _Hymn to Hermes_ Battus almost
disappears from the story, and a somewhat different account of the
stealing of the cattle is given.]
2101 (return) [ sc. Colophon. Proclus in his abstract of the _Returns_
(sc. of the heroes from Troy) says Calchas and his party were present
at the death of Teiresias at Colophon, perhaps indicating another
version of this story.]
2102 (return) [ ll. 1-2 are quoted by Athenaeus, ii. p. 40; ll. 3-4 by
Clement of Alexandria, _Stromateis_ vi. 2. 26. Buttman saw that the two
fragments should be joined. (NOTE: These two fragments should be read
together.—DBK)]
2201 (return) [ sc. the golden fleece of the ram which carried Phrixus
and Helle away from Athamas and Ino. When he reached Colchis Phrixus
sacrificed the ram to Zeus.]

Cows)’.]
2301 (return) [ This and the following fragment are meant to be read
together.—DBK]
2302 (return) [ cp. Hesiod _Theogony_ 81 ff. But Theognis 169, ‘Whomso
the god honour, even a man inclined to blame praiseth him’, is much
nearer.]
