ABSTRACT
The Lyra of Orpheus, which appeared in C.R. 1927, 169 ff., needs some supplement. First, the possibility that the new fragment of Varro comes from his Menippean satire ‘Oνoς λύρας receives some support from two known fragments of that work. Fr. 351 Buecheler, quam mobilem diuom lyram sol harmoge | quadam gubernans motibus diis ueget, refers to a similar theory of the universe as a musical instrument, 1 while fr. 360, tuus autem ipse frater cibarius fuit Aristoxenus, certainly suggests a conversation in which Pythagorean ideas had a place.
