commentary

Bivona essentially dismisses the earlier tradition (which, as per her practice throughout the catalogue, she does not report or reference), seemingly on the sole basis that she read F, not E, as the first surviving letter of line 2. Gualtherus saw the piece entire, and Mommsen the surviving right half, and there is no obvious reason to doubt Gualtherus' report of the original entire text.
