Abstract

To the instances of non-syllabic ε after -ιλ- or -υλ- which were given in Class. Quart. XVII. 196 , two more may be added: Σιλεωνας, Kaibel, Epigrammata Graeca 783 , occurs in a trochaic line, and is scanned Cup – Cup –. Kaibel calls it a ‘nomen suspectum’; but in the re-edition in Anc. Gr.Inscr.in the British Museum, No. 796, the reading is defended by a comparison with Σιλνιος in C.I.G. 1577. 3 = I.G. 7. 2429
