Iamblichus,
Babyloniaca fr. 104 Habrich.
[2] Fragment of dactylic fable, included in appendix to Crusius' edition of
Babrius, p. 216. As to the glossing of 'portion' with 'part', Adler notes that Ruhnken adduced
Plato,
Laws 5.745D.
[3] Quotation (in which, with Kuster, one should read genitive
sfai/ras for the transmitted
sfai/ra; cf. Crusius in his edition of
Babrius, p. 216) unidentifiable. Crusius doubted that this fragment belongs to a fable; perhaps it is part of a cosmogony.
