A Poetry Map for LSJ - DSpace at Cambridge - University of ...

Philosophical fragments:
LSJ cites from Diels Vorsokr. or PPF. 5 As the same numbering is retained in Diels &
Kranz and KRS, it is not given here. The editions are, however, cited in the bibliography.
Tragic fragments:
LSJ citations of Aeschylus and Sophocles have the same numbering in most modern
editions, so these are cited, and mappings are given to Diggle TrGFSel. Mappings are also
given for citations of Aeschylus from Weir Smyth AJP, and, for Euripides, from Arnim to
Page (Select Papyri), to Bond, and to Diggle (Phaeth).
Reader notes:
1) This map is primarily designed to be used for reference when consulting LSJ. It does
not, therefore, always give a full listing of each poet's fragments. Individual lines are
sometimes given when citations are restricted to those actually appearing in LSJ.
2) Authors are cited by the abbreviations used in LSJ, and reattributions are listed under
the heading of the author as given by LSJ (notably including many reattributions from
Simonides). Authors and works are additionally identified by their numbers in the TLG
Canon, to avoid any possibility of misidentification.
3) LSJ citations are always listed in the leftmost column, and numbers of the modern
editions to the right.
4) Marginal numbers are given for fragments in LP. Numbers in PMG are given firstly as
those at the head of each fragment (which correspond to the TLG citations), and then as
the running numbers in the margins (cited by most editions, including the revised edition
PMGF). For Alcman, the first author in PMG, these numbers are the same.
5) Double citations are used in two other circumstances: where TLG cites Athenaeus by
Kaibel rather than Casaubon number, and Eustathius by volume and page (rather than
margin) numbers of Stallbaum.
6) Volume numbers are given in Roman numerals. The formatting of letters indicating
sub-fragments corresponds to that in the relevant edition. In citations of modern editions,
however, line numbers follow commas, so "112, 10" indicates fragment 112, line 10. The
abbreviation adn. (for adnotatio) denotes the note to a fragment, rather than the text.
Context and acknowledgments
This map was collated by comparing the editions cited by LSJ with the texts and comparationes of the
modern editions. Citations were further checked, and reattributions discovered, with the help of the TLG
CD-ROM (E).
Professors Colin Austin and James Diggle and Dr Martin West generously gave of their time to read
drafts of the document, and their comments have enabled me to make substantial improvements.
The project was undertaken as part of the development of an electronic database of lexicographic 'slips',
designed by Professor Jeffrey Rydberg-Cox of the University of Missouri at Kansas City, for an Ancient
Greek-English lexicon being written at Cambridge University under the editorship of Dr Anne Thompson.
