 I. iJo-8u) : here i' = Attic o (if. dirv, Alcaeus, 36, 7) and ffd = f, whence 
 iV5os — 6j'os, hough. It cannot, however, be safely asserted tliat the letters 
 <r5 were used instead of the letter f by the ancient Lesbians ; for f frequently 
 appears in MSS. as in 1 , 9 ; 2, 3 ; 89, 6 ; as well as in certain Lesbian in- 
 scriptions, though these are not very old. Hence the occasional cr5 in our 
 MSS. is probably due to the fjranunarians, who wished to indicate the j)ronun- 
 ciation of f. — 2. XtXdOovro : reduplicated 2d aor. of \avd6.v(j}, G. 534. —

 apparently compose it are rhythmical series (* G. 1637) rather than single 
 verses (* HA. 1074 b). Hence hiatus and syllahu anccps are allowed only at 
 the eiul of a system, * G. 1636. On these principles, the first .sy.stem (verses
