Ambr. B 98 sup. f. 215v

F. 215v contains lines 155-184 of Callimachus’ Third Hymn (Hymn to Artemis). There are eight brief scholia arranged in the left margin, two of which include the lemma commented upon, and three interlinear glosses. The scribe places the scholia in direct proximity to the word to which they refer, organizing them into small, perfectly aligned “text boxes,” evenly spaced from the left margin and from the body of the poetic text. The page provides a representative example of the relationship between text and para-text in the section of the manuscript that conserved the Hymns with scholia: the limited exegetical apparatus allows for a neat and orderly layout, dominated by the poetic text, with wide upper and lower margins left blank.

The writing frame measures 25 [186] 39 × 72 [87] 18 mm.
