PREFACE
THE text of the present edition of the Alcestis is
based upon a careful examination of the apparatus
criticus given in Prinz's edition, Leipsic, 1879.
Though I have sometimes been compelled to dissent
from the conclusions of that eminent scholar, the text
6 will not be found to exhibit any important deviations
either from his or those ordinarily in use.
In the lyric portions of the play, the arrangement
of the lines is generally that shown by Schmidt in his
Monodien u. Wechselgesinge, but the numbering of
Dindorfs Poetae Scenici has been preserved.
A few notes (on 11. 118, 546, 817, 983), added
since the first edition was printed, will be found at
p. 88.
