Commentary

[ Hide commentary ]

Hippolytus quotes this fragment immediately after fragment 64, the subject being "thunderbolt" (from the fragment) or "eternal fire" (from Hippolytus' comment).

(Unfortunately, I could find no good English word in popular usage today that translates κόρον ('satiety' or 'surfeit'), describing the condition of being full beyond the point of satisfaction.)
