Walter Lapini, « Note interpretative e testuali alla col. XXII del Papiro di Derveni », HAL-SHS : littérature, ID : 10670/1.hhlszp
This essay deals with some difficult points of Derveni Papyrus Col. XXII: (1) l. 4: the textis corrupt, read κρατιστεῦόν τε{ς} λέγουσι instead of κρατιστεύοντες λέγουσι; (2) l. 6: πλεονεξία means«arrogance», not «greed»; (3) l. 12: it is impossible to obtain from Δη̣μήτηρ [Ῥ]έα Γῆ Μή̣τ̣ηρ Ἑστία Δη[ι]ώι aregular hexameter, as the long quantity of the final alpha of Ἑστία nullifies any effort in this direction; (4) ll.13-14: shall be understood “Orpheus will clarify this when he comes to the verses (devoted to this subject)”.
