G.P. II xlii¹ being at the B.M.² I asked Kenyon ³
who says P. Meyer's ⁴ reading [ιππα]ρχιας wont do.
I agree with you it is a bad book⁵. The Roman part
is already largely upset by O.P.II⁶ vide P.M ⁷'s
appendeix. Wilcken ⁸ wanted me to review it for
the Archiv ⁹. But I of course have no time & have
suggested to him now that you should do it for
him. So I hope you will hear from him on the subject.¹⁰
Wilcken agrees with you the Ptol. part is all wrong.
