Greek Original:
Karkinou poiêmata: Menandros Pseudêraklei. anti tou ainigmatôdê. ho gar Karkinos Orestên apo Iliou anankazomenon homologêsai hoti emêtroktonêsen, epoiêse di' ainigmatôn apokrinomenon.
Notes:
Also in Photius (Lexicon kappa193 Theodoridis).
For Karkinos see already kappa 396.
[1] Menander fr. 525 Kock (415 K.-A.).
[2] Orestes (omicron 537, omicron 538) had no business to be '[departing] from Ilion' (Troy), so emendation is necessary, e.g. 'compelled by Menelaos' (Hemsterhuys). Theodoridis notes other possibilities.
