Commentary
Philological commentary
| From this fragment, too, only four lines are preserved. It exhibits the strophe numbers 11 and 12, and the metre is 4x14 syllables in a 7/7-rhythm. If part of the Krodhavarga it should be from a second section. | |
| n1 | Emendation according to Sieg and Siegling 1983: 74 fn. 6. |
Remarks
| In one frame with THT 38 und THT 39. Small fragment from the centre of a leaf. |
