Commentary

For commentary on this series see on C.336.

Line 2: Oliverio's reading suggests Κύρη as the goddess of the fountain; cf. Stephanus Byzantinus s.v. Κυρήνη for which he suggests a derivation Κύρης πηγῆς ἐγχωρίου (text at Hathi Trust) In Tod's reading, given here, ἰατρός should refer to Asklepios, or, less probably, to Apollo. There is no other evidence at Cyrene connecting the Nymphs with healing but for the association elsewhere, see Roscher, s.v. nymphae, col. 512.
