[144] δεσπόσυνον: first in Pind. Pyth.iv. 267(475). διδασκ́ησαιμι: for the form cf. Hes. Op.64“ἔργα διδασκῆσαι. διαθ[ρ]ήσαιμι” and “διαθ[λ]ήσαιμι” are of course easier changes than Voss's “διδασκήσαιμι”, which also involves the alteration of “γυναικός” to “γυναῖκας”. The sense, however, is very near, and the corruption not greater than some of those known in M (p. xviii). “διασκήσαιμι” (cf. the variant in l.c.) would be little removed from “διαθήσαιμι”.
148-9=216-7. Cf. Solon fr. 5. 64 “δῶρα δ᾽ ἄφυκτα θεῶν γίγνεται ἀθανάτων”, Rhian. ap. Stob. 54 “φέρομεν δὲ θεῶν ἑτερόρροπα δῶρα” “ἀφραδέϊ κραδίῃ”. The early editors doubted the mood of “τέτλαμεν”, and Brunck's alteration was to suit an infin. (“τετλάμεν”). The indic. is certainly right; cf. Od. 20.311.
