Apparatus criticus

1: В начале стк. перед Λ скорее нижняя часть уходящей в обрез наклонной линии с утолщением на конце (автопсия Соломоник), чем «остаток раздвоения нижней части» Ι (автопсия Раевского). Таким образом, вероятное чтение - Λ или Α, вероятное восстановление - мужское личное имя [Ἀχι]λλεύς, впервые предложенное Латышевым (см. ниже).
