Abstract

The paper offers a new conjecture on Eur. Phaeth. fr. 773, 20 Kannicht. The verse presents a gap in the papyrus that preserves it, which is generally filled with Wilamowitz’s ἱππεύει. However, it is argued here that this conjecture cannot be reconciled with the ink traces visible on the papyrus and that it is preferable to restore the text with the Homeric expression φῶς φέρει.
