Palaeographical information Written in the right margin. The scholium is linked by a signe-de-renvoi to the ligatures 'στ' in 'λόγοις τε' and 'ὥστε' in the main text (Thuc. 3.66.2).
Contextual information The epigram is written next to Thucydides' Histories 3.66.2.
Metre(s) Dodecasyllable
Genre(s)
Comment Tzetzes expresses - again - his frustration with the lack of accents in the text and the archaic use of the consonant cluster 'στ'. Similar reactions can be found on ff. 42r, 183v and 185r.
