Pindar Pythian 9.19
Pindar, Nemean 1.24
This note considers a Pindaric crux. It argues that Aristarchus’ ‘solution’ should not have been so readily accepted because the evidence can be interpreted differently, giving more satisfactory sense if ἐςλ ̓ ὡς rather than ἐςλούς is read for the manuscripts’ ἐςλός

Textual Notes on Pindar's Eleventh Nemean
εἰ δέ τις ὄλβον ἔχων μορφᾷ παραμεύςεται ἄλλους, ἔν τ ̓ ἀέθλοιςιν ἀριςτεύων ἐπέδειξεν βίαν, θνατὰ μεμνάςθω περιςτέλλων μέλη, 15 καὶ τελευτὰν ἁπάντων γᾶν ἐπιεςςόμενος. ἐν λόγοις δ ̓ ἀςτῶν ἀγαθοῖςί νιν αἰνεῖςθαι χρεὼν καὶ μελιγδούποιςι δαιδαλθέντα μελίζεν ἀοιδαῖς.

Melissus, the victor] resembles the boldness of loudly roaring wild lions in his heart during the struggle, but in skill he is a fox, which rolls on its back to check the eagle's swoop.

Les communautes juives des Etats Baltes affrontent en cette fin de siecle un dilemne ethique.
