On the Phaenomena of Aratus

Codex Palatinus 23, p.444

Texts

Ἡσιόδου τὸ τ᾽ ἄεισμα καὶ ὁ τρόπος: οὐ τὸν ἀοιδῶν
ἔσχατον, ἀλλ᾽ ὀκνέω μὴ τὸ μελιχρότατον
τῶν ἐπέων ὁ Σολεὺς ἀπεμάξατο. χαίρετε, λεπταὶ
ῥήσιες, Ἀρήτου σύμβολον ἀγρυπνίης.

— Paton edition

The rhythm and the manner are Hesiod's. He of
Soli took as a model not the worst of poets, but, I
am afraid, the most honeyed of his verses.¹ Hail !
delicate phrases, the monument of Aratus' sleepless
nights.

Comment

#1

Paton Edition: 1 It is difficult to see the point, but I do not venture to adopt Toup's μη <οΰ>, "not the most honeyed." The reference is to Hesiod, Works and Days, 383 seq.
