ON GREEK VERSIFICATION IN INSCRIPTIONS. 105

IX.
HIATUS.

Hiatus is on the whole infrequent, and occurs chiefly in epigrams
of unskilful construction in other respects.

I throw out, of course, hiatus in interpolations : ko.1 epycm?, 60 ;
irai ev, lxxvi ; for which see page 46.

The following cases, before former f-words, are due to Homeric
reminiscence :

iv9d8e ol, 86 (Att. iv).

tovto Se ot, 234 (Smyrn. iii).

aOdvaToIt] ol, 768 (Xanth. iv).

<3 a[va] in 786 is a doubtful conjecture.

The remaining examples I arrange according to their place in the
verse. First those in hexameters :
