(39) This fragment is placed by Spohn after “Works and Days” l.
     120.

(41) Wilamowitz thinks one or other of these citations belongs to
     the Catalogue.
(42) Lines 1-51 are from Berlin Papyri, 9739; lines 52-106 with
     B. 1-50 (and following fragments) are from Berlin Papyri,
     10560.  A reference by Pausanias (iii. 24. 10) to ll. 100
     ff. proves that the two fragments together come from the
     “Catalogue of Women”.  The second book (the beginning of
     which is indicated after l. 106) can hardly be the second
     book of the “Catalogues” proper:  possibly it should be
     assigned to the EOIAI, which were sometimes treated as part
     of the “Catalogues”, and sometimes separated from it.  The
     remains of thirty-seven lines following B. 50 in the Papyrus
     are too slight to admit of restoration.
(43) sc. the Suitor whose name is lost.
(44) Wooing was by proxy; so Agamemnon wooed Helen for his
     brother Menelaus (ll. 14-15), and Idomeneus, who came in
     person and sent no deputy, is specially mentioned as an
     exception, and the reasons for this —­ if the restoration
     printed in the text be right —­ is stated (ll. 69 ff.).
(45) The Papyrus here marks the beginning of a second book ("B"),
     possibly of the EOIAE.  The passage (ll. 2-50) probably led
     up to an account of the Trojan (and Theban?) war, in which,
     according to “Works and Days” ll. 161-166, the Race of
     Heroes perished.  The opening of the “Cypria” is somewhat
     similar.  Somewhere in the fragmentary lines 13-19 a son of
     Zeus —­ almost certainly Apollo —­ was introduced, though
     for what purpose is not clear.  With l. 31 the destruction
     of man (cp. ll. 4-5) by storms which spoil his crops begins: 
     the remaining verses are parenthetical, describing the snake
     `which bears its young in the spring season’.
(46) i.e. the snake; as in “Works and Days” l. 524, the “Boneless
     One” is the cuttle-fish.
(47) c. 1110-1180 A.D.  His chief work was a poem, “Chiliades”,
     in accentual verse of nearly 13,000 lines.
(48) According to this account Iphigeneia was carried by Artemis
     to the Taurie Chersonnese (the Crimea).  The Tauri
     (Herodotus iv. 103) identified their maiden-goddess with
     Iphigeneia; but Euripides ("Iphigeneia in Tauris”) makes her
     merely priestess of the goddess.
