abstract:
Apollonius of Rhodes’ fr. 13 Michaelis, putatively from the treatise Πρὸς
Ζηνόδοτον, comes from a scholium ascribable to Aristarchus via Aristonicus in the
ms. Venetus A and witnesses the variant reading κεφαλάς preferred by Apollonius
to ψυχάς in Hom., Il. 1.3. A longer version of that scholium, preserved in the mss.
AgBdP of the h family of the Iliad, arguably allows to retrieve a larger portion of
Apollonius’ fragment, where he supports his reading κεφαλάς by quoting Il. 9.407
ἵππων ξανθὰ κάρηνα.
