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\*. - [Previous: c12.126](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c12.126) - [Next: c12.128](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c12.128) - [Up: c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c12.127](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c12.127) · Pramāṇa
