The text of the composite schol. Ar. Th. 1175, transmitted in the Ravennas manuscript of Aristophanes, needs to be interpreted as a whole more than to be emended or split into parts. It is a witness to an erudite quaestio concerning a Περσικὸν ὄρχημα, which was dealt with in vain by Seleucus, purportedly ‘the Homericus’, and possibly Zeno of Myndos before him, and instead solved by Jubas II. The latter is likely to be the author, or the source, of the explanation of Περσικόν in Th. 1175 as referring to the Persian dance called ὄκλασμα.

Abstract
The text of the composite schol. Ar. Th. 1175, transmitted in the Ravennas manuscript of Aristophanes, needs to be interpreted as a whole more than to be emended or split into parts. It is a witness to an erudite quaestio concerning a Περσικὸν ὄρχημα, which was dealt with in vain by Seleucus, purportedly ‘the Homericus’, and possibly Zeno of Myndos before him, and instead solved by Jubas II. The latter is likely to be the author, or the source, of the explanation of Περσικόν in Th. 1175 as referring to the Persian dance called ὄκλασμα.File in questo prodotto:
