ABSTRACT

Ox. Pap. 1231, 16 ; Bergk, 12 ; Edm. 13 ; Etym. M. 449, 34.

Bergk, 15, from Apoll., Pronom. 324 B ; Edm. 15.

Whether lines 3-5 (Bergk, 12) are rightly placed here is not certain. But we cannot think of Sappho in this poem as exemplifying the words of Horace (Odes, ii, 13, 24), Aeolus fidibus querentem . . ,*puellis de popularibus, for these words seem to mean " singing elegies over the girls of her people ".
