[331] 331 “ἀθετεῖται ὅτι ἄκαιρον τὸ ἐπίθετον” Schol. A (Hera should not allude to her son's deformity when asking a favour). But the line is obviously indispensable. Cobet suggests that the scribe has mistaken the paragraphos, a dash a little above the line at the beginning of a speech answering to our inverted commas, for the obelos, a dash at the side of the line. In his copy the diple which really belonged to the line may have been accidentally omitted, so that seeing as he supposed the obelos, and having a note referring to a critical mark, he inserted the word “ἀθετεῖται” on his own responsibility. Schol. U has in fact “Ἀριστόνικος” in place of “ἀθετεῖται”. For κυλλοποδίων cf. 18.371.
