[175] ε<*>ϋστεφάνου is probably correct. The epithet occurs in this hymn at 6 and 288 without variant. It is Homeric; cf. Od. 8.267 “ ἐϋστεφάνου τ᾽ Ἀφροδίτης. ἰοστέφανος” appears first in vi. 18 (with the variant in p), Solon fr. 19. 4, Theognis 250 etc. In Solon fr. 52 the two words are again variants.
