Abstract
- Fr. 1 of P.Oxy. 2370 (= MP3 249; LDAB 573), published by Lobel in 1956, is so far the only papyrus fragment among those extant in Boeotian dialect1 whose authorship can be securely ascribed to Corinna thanks to the overlap with Heph. Ench. xvi p. 56 l. 20-p. 57 l. 4 C. Hephaestion here quotes what is now PMG 655 fr. 1 ll. 2-5 and 15 as examples of the variety of the polyschematic dimeters (glyconics) employed by Corinna.2 All the instances cited by the 2nd century AD grammarian are glyconics with final choriamb, with the first metron of ll. 2-5 and l. 15 realised respectively by ‿ ‿ _ ‿ _ ‿ and _ _ _ _ . Line 13 as supplemented by Page in his PMG edition is the following: [ἱώνγ᾽ἀρχ]αγὸν3 κόσμ[εισα λόγυ]ς
