The Greeks in Bactria and India c25.5

c25.5

It might be held that εὐθύδη of X warrants Εὐθυδημία, but Renou did not explicitly put it on that ground; there is little doubt from his note (scripsimus) that he adopted Bayer’s old conjecture Εὐθυδημία because most writers since have done so. The historical considerations which make Εὐθυδημία impossible are dealt with in my text (pp. 247 *sq.*); here I am only considering Ptolemy’s text.
