Note 1213 — Chapter X · ORPHIC MYSTERIES.
Reading edition
Mr Murray translates the MS. reading:
μύστης γενόμην καὶ νυκτιπόλου Ζαγρέως βροντὰς τάς τ’ ὠμοφάγους δαῖτας τελέσας.
For βροντὰς Dr Diels would read βούτας, i.e. βουκόλος. (See Dieterich, De Hymnis Orphicis, p. 11, and cf. Eur. frg. 203.) This emendation seems to me probable, but as both MS. readings and all suggested emendations are uncertain I have based no argument on the word βροντάς.
