Zu P. Oxy. 2451 A frr. 1-2

Notes on some passages of P. Oxy. 2451: Pind. I. 3 and 4 are two different victory odes. Thematic similarities or repetitions of individual words between the end of one poem and the beginning of the next can also be found in the corpus of other lyric poets, especially Sappho. Only with the order transmitted in the manuscripts do the similarities and repetitions become clear: hence the order must be intentional. Finally the article suggests a reconstruction of the text of P. Oxy. 2451 Fr. 2, ll. 3-5.
