On this last passage the scholiast says, 'Attius Labeo poeta indoctus fuit illorum temporum, qui Iliadem Homeri foedissime composuit.' The names are found combined in an inscription from Corinth, Joh. Schmidt, _Mitt. des deutsch. archäol. Inst. in Athen_, vi (1882), p. 354. 396. Schol. _ad Pers._ i. 4 (p. 248, Jahn). 397.

Germ._ xi. 599) circa 1087. In Hugo Trimbergensis (thirteenth century) Pindar is the translator: 'Homero, quem Pindarus philosophus fertur transtulisse.' Cp. L. Müller, _Philol._ xv, p. 475. So, too, in Cod. Vat. Reg. 1708 (thirteenth and fourteenth centuries); in Vat. Pal. 1611 (end of fourteenth century), he is styled Pandarus. See Baehrens, _P. L. M._ iii. 4. 401. Seyffert, in Munk, _Geschichte der Röm. Litt._ ii, p. 242. Bücheler, _Rhein. Mus._ 35 (1880), p. 391. 402. Baehrens (_P. L. M._ iii) reads (7) _ut primum tulerant_ for _ex quo pertulerant_. The corruption is unlikely, especially since the corresponding line in the _Iliad_ (i. 6) begins [Greek: ex ou]. In line 1065, for _quam cernis paucis ... remis_, he reads _remis quam cernis ... paucis_, a distinct improvement. Some of those who retain MSS. in (7) attempt to explain _Italice_ as a vocative or adverb. But _ex nihilo nihil fit_. For a summary of these unprofitable and generally absurd speculations, cp.
