τί σοι δοκεῖ; μύραινα γ᾽ εἴτ᾽ ἔχιδν᾽ ἔφυ, σήπειν θιγοῦσ᾽ ἂν μᾶλλον, οὐ δεδηγμένη: Vulgo τί σοι δοκεῖ; Recte Meinekius 7 σοι δοκεῖ, continuata oratione. Deinde μύραινά τ᾽ ἦτ᾽ ἔχιδν᾽ ἔφυ, ad τ' supra adscripto γ, Μ. μύραινά γ᾽ ἦτ᾽ ἔχιδν ἔφυ G. μύραινα τ᾽ ἦτ᾽ ἔχιδν ἔφυ Rob. μύραινα γ' ἢ ἔχιδν ἔφυ Ald. Turn. Proximo versu θίγουσαν ἄλλον M. G. Ald. θίγουσ᾽ ἂν ἄλλον Rob. Turn. Deinde omnes οὐ δεδηγμένον. Scholiastes haec adnotavit, ὑπερβολή· ὅτι καὶ τὸν μὴ δηχθέντα, ἀλλὰ μόνον ἁψάμενον σήπει, quasi θιγόντ᾽ ἂν legisset. Mira de his versibus protulit Fritzschius ad Aristoph. Ranas p. 204. Blomfieldio scribendum videbatur μύραινά γ' εἶτ᾽ ἔχιδν ἔφυ σήπειν θιγοῦσα μᾶλλον οὐ δεδηγμένον, non recte. Ita hi versus scribendi erant, ἥτις δ᾽ ἐπ᾽ ἀνδρὶ τοῦτ᾽ ἐμήσατο στύγος, ἐξ οὗ τέκνων ἤνεγχ᾽ ὑπὸ ζώνην βάρος, φίλον τέως, νῦν δ᾽ ἐχθρόν, ὡς φαίνει, κακόν, ή σοι δοκεῖ, μύραινά γ' εἶτ᾽ ἔχιδν ἔφυ, σήπειν θιγοῦσ᾽ ἂν μᾶλλον, οὐ δεδηγμένη, τόλμης ἕκατι καδίκου φρονήματος; quae autem marito tale machinata est scelus, ex quo liberorum onus sub zona gestavit, tum carum, nunc, ut ostendit, odiosum, num tibi videtur, sive muraena sive vipera essel, tactu suo magis labem illatura esse, non laesa? Οὐ δεδηγμένη, sed ἐξ οὗ τέκνων ἤνεγχ᾽ ὑπὸ ζώνην βάρος. Hoc igitur dicit, non potuisset magis laedere innocentem, si bellua fuisset.
