Notes on the current edition

Panathenaicus

1. For the “greatest goods” cf. Plat. Laws 631c ; Aristot. Rh. 1.5 ; and Herrick’s rendering of the famous Greek skolion: “Health is the first good lent to men;/A gentle disposition then;/Next, to be rich by no by-wayes;/Lastly, with friends t’enjoy our dayes.”
2. Cf. Bacchyl. 1.27 ff. ( Bacchyl. 1.55 ff. , Jebb’s edition): εἰ δ′ ὑγιείγας θνατὸς ἐὼν ἔλαχεν, ζώειν τ′ ἀπ′ οἰκείων ἔχει, πρώτοις ἐρίζει.
