¹ Wilcken *op. cit.* pp. 166 *sqq.* ² Wilcken *op. cit.* p. 182. ³ The seventh question in Plutarch and the papyrus is ‘How can a man become a god?’ while the Epitome has ‘How can I be thought to be a god?’ Wilcken p. 170 explains the Epitome version as a scribe’s error; I feel no certainty about this. ⁴ Wilcken p. 160. ⁵ The Z versions all begin with an exclamation of Alexander’s, *τάφους οὐκ ἔχετε*; That this is not one of the questions proper is shown by Leo (*Der Alexanderroman des Archipresbyters Leo*, ed. Fr. Pfister, 1913, III, 6) who belongs to the older group of recensions (*id.* p. 20) and who retains this exclamation, though he omits the questions (and much else) for the sake of brevity. The end of the list in the Armenian version, *τῶν κτιστῶν τί ἐστι γλυκύτατον…τί δὲ πικρότατον*; though separated, is only one question; so Kroll *op. cit.* p. 105 n. ⁶ On *aporiai* see Wilcken pp. 166, 169, 179; also p. 427 n. 3 *ante*.
