Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>The first unmetrical word of Leonidas, <jats:italic>AP</jats:italic> 6.4 requires emendation, not explanation. On the basis of a variant in Lucian, a new textual suggestion is made. The paper explores metrical and intertextual criteria for explaining the passage, but rejects them in favour of emendation.</jats:p>
