Note 162 — Chapter III · ORIGINS OF LINES AND STANZAS
Reading edition
The longest passage that my memory (assisted in this case by the kindness of my friend and colleague Professor Hardie) supplies is in Aristophanes, Eq. 911-940. And it is not insignificant that this not only becomes (and seems actually to be started by) a burlesque repetition—
Α. εμου μεν ουν. Κ. εμου μεν ουν,
but can only be made out by constantly breaking words, as in
εις ἡν αναλων ουκ εφε- ξεις ουδε ναυπηγουμενος.
