Eupolis

(again from POxy. 2813 fr. Id) cannot be determined, the repetition of the word
suggests text followed by commentary. If ]ιμην at the end of 25 represents the
verbal ending [-ο]ίμην, the first-person singular in the commentary on the
next secure lemma (fr. 259c) has emerged already here. Nothing can be made
of the material that follows in 26-31.

From POxy. 2813 fr. Id
fr. 259c = Eup. fr. 259.32 K.-A.
