Note 1178 — Chapter III · CONDITION OF UNMARRIED WOMEN.—LOVE.

I have, as the reader will perceive, adopted the verse proposed by Barnes:—

Δηλιάδες δὲ τε κοῦραι Ἀπόλλωνος θεράπαιναι.

Though Ernesti is perhaps right in supposing no addition necessary. See his note on v. 165. Franke, in his recent edition of the Hymns, has, with Ernesti, rejected the verse.
