Note 75 — I ON THE ‘E’ AT DELPHI

See on this remarkable passage E. Norden, Agnostos Theos, p. 231 f., and the view of H. Diels, communicated to him. I have followed Norden in reading εἶ, ἤ (he suggests with hesitation προσεπιθειάζειν) (and so Paton and Diels). Diels thinks that οἱ παλαιοί may cover later philosophers such as Xenophanes.
