I cite manuscripts from my own collations. Information about most of these manuscripts, and explanation of the symbols by which I designate them, may be found in A. Turyn, The Byzantine Manuscript Tradition of the Tragedies of Euripides , K. Matthiessen, Studien zur Textüberlieferung der Euripideischen Hekabe , and D. J. Mastronarde and J. M. Bremer, The Textual Tradition of Euripides' Phoinissai . I shall discuss the affiliations and the relative value of these manuscripts on a later occasion. For the (...) present no knowledge of these matters is needed. I refer to modern editions by the names of their editors: Wecklein = N. Wecklein , Wecklein = N. Wecklein , Di Benedetto = V. Di Benedetto , Biehl = W. Biehl , Willink = C. W. Willink , West = M. L. West . Studies refers to my Studies on the Text of Euripides. (shrink)
