 PREFATORY NOTE 
 
 Fragments d'un mamtscrii de Menandre dicouverts 
 etpublids par M, GUSTAVE Lefebvre, Inspecteur 
 en chef du service des AntiqtdUs de P^gypte. 
 Le Caire: Imprimerie de Vlnstitut Frangais 
 d' Archdologie Orientale, 1907. 
 
 All scholars will offer M. Lefebvre their warm con- 
 gratulations on this great discovery. They will include 
 M. Maurice Croiset, who has assisted him to edit it, and add 
 their compliments to the Press of the French Archaeological 
 Institute at Cairo. 
 
 Here, in several large pieces, we regain no less than 1,300 
 lines: and if they still deny us the material for estimating 
 thoroughly Menander's management of a comedy throughout, 
 at least there are complete scenes, and one Prologue, which 
 together show us well enough his handling of a plot and his 
 drawing of character, and display most strikingly his lightness 
 and vivacity of style. 
 
 But, as M. Lefebvre recognizes, before we can appreciate 
 them fully there is still much restoration to be done ; 
 many supplements to be made, and not a few corrections. 
 Fortunately what remains of the MS. appears to have suffered 
 little serious injury ; the lacunae, though numerous, are for 
 the most part only small ; and many of them probably have 
 traces which will make it possible to confirm the right 
 conjectures ; so that there is every ground for hoping that 
 before long almost the whole will have been restored

 intelligibly. M. Lefebvrc promises us presently a facsimile, 
 and afterwards a second edition which will embody what 
 other scholars may contribute. One such contribution 1 make 
 here. 
 
 The work of restoration has been made much easier by 
 the editor's accuracy in marking the number of the letters 
 missing. For example, there can be no doubt. I think, about 
 the supplements in vi: 419, 420 on P. 173 (below, p. 28); but 
 they arc rendered possible by the care with which the vacant 
 spaces have been noted. 
 
 The scribe has spared us one great source of trouble 
 by marking a change of speakers with two vertical dots 
 iTAA\OCTIC: €Yr€ : and not infrequently he writes the name 
 of the new speaker in the margin. But he is not, of course, 
 to be relied upon entirely ; sometimes he omits these dots, 
 and sometimes put them after the wrong word. One point to 
 which I would invite attention is the number of places where 
 the words have been transposed. It is a subject which I have 
 treated fully in the Classical Review for 1902, p. 436, where 
 the present examples will find many parallels. 
 
 The Papyrus is here called P, and the conjectural sup- 
 plements are enclosed in square brackets. My own suggestions, 
 for convenience, are printed in thick type.

 P. 9. The form TtlSaos in vv. 40, 47, though the region is 
 
 given as Ti^eiov in Steph. Byz. (Kock Com. AU., i. p. 704), 
 
 is practically new to us. Elsewhere it appears as Tt/3ioy, and 
 
 is scanned TT^lo? by Metrodorus, A. P. xiv. 123. 11. But 
 
 we are enabled now to emend two other fragments of 
 
 Menander : fr. 231

 not Trapoy, then it must be t€«s-

 the sense, took ola, ola Si for a mere repetition, and preferred 
 to bring the words together. So in Eur. /:/. F. 135 the MS.

 1042 the MSS. give rdXaivai rdXaivai xopai <t>pvycov: and

 be corrected.

 probably we should merely eject oi/S' €v. 
 
 Since he says (la-ipxop-ai, it is evident that he follows 
 Polemon into the house ; and thereupon in 117 some one 
 inside the house exclaims, according to the MS. :

 The speaker then continues :

 The S( is needed, and we could restore metre by omitting 
 the second dv : but I am strongly inclined to think that we 
 have here a case of transiX)sition, and that the original was :

 if I am not mistaken, it was the normal form — unum non

 Moschion, as he has just explained in 278-93, does not 
 really mean to leave the country, but is going to frighten his 
 father by pretending that he means to do so : 
 
 ' My father will come presently : he will beg vie to remain 
 here : he shall beg in vain for some time, — that he must do : 
 then, when I see fit^ I will yield my acquiesce7ice. Only, 
 I must act the part convincingly. Just what I can't do is 
 that!' 
 
 In 322 the choice lies between irpoaOrjcrofi avrco 'I will 
 incline to his view ' and 7rei(r6i](TO/M avrcp ' I will allow myself 
 to be persuaded by him ' : but see Cobet A^. L. 409.

 anger and lets me go and welcome — for I omitted this just

 does, — (zvell, I must stick to it,) for everything is ruined if I am

 The first H, as may easily happen, was mistaken for 76: 
 there is another case below in v. 440, where H appears to 
 have been misread as re. — The word beginning GNT might 
 have been another adjective, but there is none that suits, 
 nor any word that I can find but kvrvx^'iv : cf. Plat. Epist. 
 xiii. p. 360 c ovr^ d\aph kariv kvTv\elv ovre KaKorfOii eoiKep, 
 ' not without charm of manner,' ' not unpleasant to meet, to 
 have conversation with,' — and in a connexion like the present 
 the word is especially appropriate : Alciphron i. 29, 34, ;^^, 
 
 37, 38, ii- I. 
 
 This is what the Cyclops says in Theocr. xi. 77-9, SfjXov 
 or kv TO, yd Kr]ya)v ris ^atvofxaL e/xfieu, meaning, of course, as 
 Fritzsche says, " SrjXov otl ovk dr)8i]s elfXL, ottov ye Kal at Kopai 
 /j.€ (j)LXovaL." And v. 390 begins with ovk eifi drjSrjs. There 
 the metre requires ovk drjS-qs^ elfii, or perhaps eifx is to be 
 ejected (cf. P. 157 v. 192). — Cf. P. 113 v. 33-36.
