Commentary
[ Hide commentary ]The text for the this fragment has been corrupted. The manuscripts have ὅτεη κυβερνῆσαι. I have provided the emendation made by DK: ὅτεη ἐκυβέρνησε. Robinson accepts this emendation as well, although noting a hesitation based on the feminine form of ὅστις (ὅτεη), which occurs nowhere in Greek literature. Kahn finds the ὅτεη impossible, and emends the whole phrase to this: ὅκη κυβερνᾶται.
