Aeschylus' Scholia in ms. Ath. Iber. 209: Two Examples

Among the scholia to Aeschylus\u2019 Persae preserved by the ms. Ath. Iber. 209 (12th\u201314th century), the one to v. 14 takes over a glossographic exegesis of the words \u1f31\u3c0\u3c0\u3cc\u3c4\u3b7\u3c2 and \u1f31\u3c0\u3c0\u3b7\u3bb\u3ac\u3c4\u3b7\u3c2 as \u3c6\u3c5\u3b3\u3ac\u3c2, using it for an \u1f31\u3c0\u3c0\u3b5\u3cd\u3c2 which probably left the interpreters uncertain of the difference between \u1f04\u3b3\u3b3\u3b5\u3bb\u3bf\u3c2 and \u1f31\u3c0\u3c0\u3b5\u3cd\u3c2. The scholium on vv. 869\u2013871 recalls two passages of Eustathius\u2019 commentary to the Iliad, with a clear simplification; it belongs to a section, in the ms., which offers mostly scholia belonging to the A-family, which, according to Smith, derive from a lost commentary by Tzetzes, who, in turn, would have recalled Eustathius\u2019 commentary to the Iliad. Nevertheless, a thorough analysis of this particular case shows that the situation is more complex. Finally, in this scholium we find the fragment of an anonymous author, which could be tragic, and, in particular, Euripidean
