[741] Resplendent fragmina Med. a m. p., Pal., and Gud., with two of Ribbeck's cursives: so Heyne and Ribbeck: ‘resplendet fragmen’ Med. a m. s. and Rom., followed by Wagn., who thinks that ‘fragmina’ may be due to the initial α of ‘arena.’ ‘Fragmina,’ besides having the balance of MSS. authority in its favour, is supported not only (as Heyne says) by Homer's τριχθά τε καὶ τετραχθὰ διατρυφὲν ἔκπεσε χειρός, but by Prudentius' imitation (Psych. 145) quoted by Cerda: “Ira ubi truncati mucronis fragmina vidit, Et procul in partes ensem crepuisse minutas,” &c.
