Professor C. A. Trypanis has kindly pointed out to me that in my article in JHS lxxxiii (1963) 75 f. I have confused two different inscriptions. The decree of the Aetolian League from Thermum recording a grant of proxeny Ποσειδίππῶι τῶι ἐπιγραμματοποιῶι Πελλαίωι and mentioned by me on p. 76 contains no mention of an Asclepiades. Both an Asclepiades and a Posidippus are mentioned in a mutilated Delphian psephisma of about 276–5 B.C. published in Fouilles de Delphes iii.3 (Epigraphie, 1943) no. 192, granting proxeny and other privileges to a number of persons of different nationalities.

This Delphian decree, and not, as I say on p. 87, that from Thermum, is the one which Professor Trypanis suggested might explain the reference in ll. 9–11 of the poem discussed in my article. Luckily this error makes not the slightest difference to my argument. In saying to Apollo, ‘If ever in time past you showed me favour’, Posidippus is almost certainly referring to his past poetry.
