Hesiod. — The classification and numeration of MSS. here followed is that of Rzach (1913). It is only necessary to add that on the whole the recovery of Hesiodic papyri goes to confirm the authority of the mediaeval MSS. At the same time these fragments have produced much that is interesting and valuable, such as the new lines, Works and Days 169 a-d, and the improved readings ib. 278, Theogony 91, 93. Our chief gains from the papyri are the numerous and excellent fragments of the Catalogues which have been recovered.

Works and Days : —
S Oxyrhynchus Papyri 1090.
A Vienna, Rainer Papyri L.P. 21 — 9 (4th cent.).
B Geneva, Naville Papyri Pap. 94 (6th cent.).
C Paris, Bibl. Nat. 277l (11th cent.).
D Florence, Laur. xxxi 39 (12th cent.).
E Messina, Univ. Lib. Preexistens 11 (12th-13th cent.).
F Rome, Vatican 38 (14th cent.).
G Venice, Marc, ix 6 (14th cent.).
H Florence, Laur. xxxi 37 (14th cent.).
I ,,,, xxxii 16 (13th cent.).
K ,,,, xxxii 2 (14th cent.).
L Milan, Ambros. G 32 sup. (14th cent.).
M Florence, Bibl. Riccardiana 71 (15th cent.).
N Milan, Ambros. .J 15 sup. (15th cent.).
O Paris, Bibl. Nat. 2773 (14th cent.).
P Cambridge, Trinity College (Gale MS.), O. 9. 27 (13th-14th cent.).
Q Rome, Vatican 1332 (14th cent.).

Ωa = C Ψa = D Φa = E
Ωb = FGH Ψb = IKLM Φa = NOPQ
