In these, verse 7 contains rejoicingly original: ἀγαλλομένως, which is Tyrwhitt’s emendation Thomas Tyrwhitt (1730–1786) was a British scholar who made significant corrections to the text of the Lithica.; verse 9 has he rushed original: ἧξεν; and in verse 11—where I poorly corrected a fault I noticed in the common reading—the manuscript most truly shows over the vast upper air original: ταναὴν ὑπὲρ αἰθέρα.

13, 14. The same Tzetzes cites these on folio 9. b., where rejoicing original: χαίροντες is written, which we accepted from Ruhnken’s emendation David Ruhnken (1723–1798), a German-Dutch classical scholar..

From these readings, I certainly believe presses upon original: ποτιχρίμπτηται to be the genuine word.

For he added scholia to that little work, just as he did for the Antehomerica A poem by Tzetzes detailing events before the Iliad.. There, verse 68 shows of the fields original: ἀγρῶν, which was Ruhnken’s conjecture; verses 70–71: a work labored upon by demigods, but troublesome and hateful original: πεπονημένον ἡμιθέοισιν ἔργον, ἀργαλέος δὲ καὶ ἀπεχθής; verse 72: to whom the people shall give the name of 'Magician'. And he indeed, deprived of his head by the sword in the dust, [died] a miserable death... original: ᾧ κεν ἐπωνυμίην λαοὶ τεύξωσι μάγοιο. καὶ ρ’ ὁ μὲν ἐν κονίῃ ἐπ’ ἄορι κρατὸς ἀμερθεὶς λευγαλέῳ θανάτῳ διὸς Φὼς ἔκτετ .....
