This paper offers a collation of the colometry of the parodos of the Persae transmitted by the sixteen most important Aeschylean manuscripts. The colometry of codex M appears to be almost always correct and coherent (only in two places there is divergence beetwen the strophe and the antistrophe); deviations from this colometry in other manuscripts are probably due to corruption. Manuscripts I A O N K Q Pd preserve, more than others, a colometry close to that of M. The collation of the colometry gives some evidence for the relation between manuscripts of the same family. On the basis of the colometry of M the metrical structure of the parodos and its relationship with the semantic-synctatic level are investigated. The colometry of M is also compared with that of modern editors, who often join two or three cola of M together and in doing so sometimes overshadow metrical and textual symmetries.

Abstract
This paper offers a collation of the colometry of the parodos of the Persae transmitted by the sixteen most important Aeschylean manuscripts. The colometry of codex M appears to be almost always correct and coherent (only in two places there is divergence beetwen the strophe and the antistrophe); deviations from this colometry in other manuscripts are probably due to corruption. Manuscripts I A O N K Q Pd preserve, more than others, a colometry close to that of M. The collation of the colometry gives some evidence for the relation between manuscripts of the same family. On the basis of the colometry of M the metrical structure of the parodos and its relationship with the semantic-synctatic level are investigated. The colometry of M is also compared with that of modern editors, who often join two or three cola of M together and in doing so sometimes overshadow metrical and textual symmetries.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
