The Mss. of Callimachvs' Hymns

Thus far, discarding such manuscripts as are copies of printed editions, we have arrived at the following grouping: 1. The group x (= ABCK ), in which K is a copy of A , and B of C , while A and C are brothers, the former being only slightly superior to the latter. 2. SQq. Here Q is a copy of S , whose borrowings from Politian it incorporated. Q added some readings from C or K , and scholia and other readings from a manuscript of the Ee stock; and after Q had received these additions, q was in turn copied from Q . 3. IID . Mr. Allen thinks it possible that, for the Homeric Hymns , these two are not direct copies of the same manuscript; and his conclusions may be accepted as indicating their mutual kinship in regard to Callimachus also. D's lost Callimachean portion gave some readings to Politian's text of Hymn V., and is in part represented by J. Lascaris' editio princeps of all six Hymns . 4. Ee , found to be brothers. 5. The group z (= FAtGHAIBr ). Here At appears to be a brother of F ; and F stands apart from the z 2 section ( = GHAIBr ), being nearer than they to xSTLDEe . Among the z 2 manuscripts, Br is a copy of I , which is itself separated from GHA ; this trio seem, on the imperfect evidence at hand, to be brothers
