Sophocles' Philoctetes: Collations of the Manuscripts G, R, and Q
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 February 2009
Extract
In an earlier article I reported the text Ajax offered by the so-called ‘Roman’ family of Sophocles, the manuscripts G, R, and Q. My present purpose is to give collations of G, R, and Q for Philoctetes, with some introductory comments confined to this play; I hope I may be allowed to refer the reader to my previous article for a discussion of the general problems arising from a study of these manuscripts.
