Encomium of Ptolemy Philadelphus

Conventions and Abbreviations

CONVENTIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS T. = Theocritus throughout. Except where it is relevant to the argument , poems of the Theocritean corpus are all cited as though “genuine”; thus 1.7, 23.7, not 1.7, [23].7. Translations are my own, unless the translator is identified. In the spelling of Greek names, ease of recognition has been the principal aim. The names of authors are usually “latinized,” whereas other names may be transliterated . References of the form “cf. 100n.” are to notes in this commentary; thus “cf. 100n.” refers to the note on v. 100. The following editions of Theocritus are cited by author only: A. S. F. Gow, Theocritus, 2d ed., 2 vols. (Cambridge 1952) C. Gallavotti, Theocritus quique feruntur Bucolici Graeci, 3d ed. (Rome 1993) R.
