[315] 315-17 = 21.374-76, except that there “καιομένη, καίωσι” is the best attested reading. Syr.omits 316-17 but ‘there are traces of writing in another hand on the upper margin; probably one or more of the omitted lines.’ 317 is rejected by Bentley and P. Knight, 316-17 by Bekker, Nauck, Christ, Fick, etc. Both lines are perhaps more in place in “Φ”. The triple repetition of forms of “δαίω” is disagreeable; but a reference to 18.227 (whence a splendid effect has been badly copied) would suggest that the remedy is to be found rather in changing “δάηται”, a form not elsewhere found, into “κάηται”. (Hesych. “δάηται: καίεται”.) μαλερῶι, see note on 9.242.
