Apparatus Criticus:	2. Cf. the note on T15.10. LSJ shows a plural of κατάποτον as “things swallowed.” The context here is too lacunose to allow an interpretation. 3. Perhaps γράφι (l. -ει) ταῦ\|τα. 4. The first letter could be epsilon instead of sigma. 5. The last letter is likely alpha or lambda. 6–7. Alternatively, one could read and divide ταῦτα λέγο̣μ̣[ε]ν· Σ[ \| ἂν σοὶ δοκεῖ [̣ .
