The text exhibits a significant crux in the form of the phrase '†ὑπʼ αὐγὰς †'. The symbol αὐγαί (rays of light) is metrically impossible in this iambic trimeter context (a short syllable required where a long is needed, or vice versa depending on the specific metrical resolution of the line in the manuscript tradition). While some editors (e.g., Nauck) have conjectured 'ὑπʼ ἄστρα' (under the stars) or 'ὑπʼ αὐλάς' (under the doors/porches) to restore the meter and sense, the manuscript reading 'αὐγὰς' is widely regarded as a corruption, likely stemming from a scribe's error or a gloss intrusion, as the phrase 'under the rays' makes little sense for someone hiding or being concealed ('ἐγκεκαλυμμένον') in a comedic context. This represents a genuine textual difficulty requiring emendation.
