Discussion of a fragment from Eratosthenes’ work on Old Comedy, quoted by Photius in his Lexicon. The fragment is not included in any of the existing collections of the fragments of Eratosthenes.
Eratosthenes in the schol. on Aristophanes’ Frogs 1263c Chantry polemicizes against some “false Atticists” (???????????); the point under discussion is not clear be- cause the text is corrupt. I argue that the false Atticists read in the line the words ??? ????, and that our scholium can be connected to other fragments of Eratosthenes that discuss irregular uses of the dual number.
