The word im6po(pos occurs in Eurip. Iph. Aul. 1204, to which it has been restored by Hermann after Scaliger, in place of the corrupt viroo-rpofyov or vnoTpo<f>ov, so that it is possible it may have been the word explained by Tarentinus as KpvcpdLos, a sense which it might very well bear, Erotian having confused Sophocles and Euripides. It would also not be out of place in the passage from Hippocrates (Vol. vi. p. 18, ed. Littre), where viroppoov is actually the reading of one MS., vncxppov of the rest. Hipp, is speaking of the veins which lie about the bones, and OaXapai agrees well with vnopofos, which happens to be exactly expressed by Erotian's <r#crd>*off. We might also suggest that Hipp, wrote KaXdpas, regarding vnopocpos as a derivative from opo- (pos, a reed, as it seems to be in Eur. Orest. 147. Against all this is to be urged the fact, that viratppos, found in an obscure passage, Rhes. 711, seems to have been a traditional synonym of icpvqbaios, as appears from Hesych. to p.rj cpavepbv "Ynaqbpov Xiyovo-iv, dXXa (aXXoi) to "Yira(ppov tt)v vypaaiav eov ip.<peprj d(pp<p. evioi, Kpv<f>iov Kai vnovXov, to 'Ynacppov : the force of the word however has yet to be explained.
