weird line numbers in tlg0006.tlg001.perseus-grc1

Opened this issue · 1 comments

there were a few discrepancies when numbering the unnumbered lines in tlg0006.tlg001.perseus-grc1 (Euripides Cyclops) .. a few line numbers appear to be duplicated .. for now they have been appended with .1, but this should be reviewed and fixed at some point:

<l n="359">χναύειν βρύκειν</l> <l n="359.1">κρεοκοπεῖν μέλη ξένων</l>

<l n="659">θηρὸς τοῦ ξενοδαίτα.</l> <l n="659.1">τυφέτʼ ὦ, καιέτʼ ὦ</l>

I don't think this is unnumbered as much as formatted for the chorus.

has
line 358 as ἑφθὰ --> χναύειν
line 359 βρύκειν --> ξένων
OCT agrees that βρύκειν is on line 359; another source also indicates the split is between χναύειν (358) and βρύκειν (359)

for 656-657, numbering is uncertain. The version found Perseus is attributed to Diggle
ἰὼ ἰώ:
ὠθεῖτε γενναιότατα,
σπεύδετ᾽, ἐκκαίετ᾽ ὀφρὺν

OCT has
(656) ἰὼ ἰώ: γενναιότατ' ὠ-
(657) θεῖτε σπεύδετ᾽. ἐκκαίετ᾽ ὀφρὺν
(658) θηρὸς τοῦ ξενοδαίτα.
(659) τυφέτ᾽ ὦ, καιέτ᾽ ὦ

Loeb has the same type of problem:

For duplicates or disputed lines, we typically append letters to the line. We might want to do that for 656 or use the OCT solution.
