| Other Remarks | For the use of the dicolon as mark of punctuation, which is unusual in literaty texts, cf. other Platonic texts: P.Oxy. II 229, V 843, VII 1016, XV 1808, 1809, XVIII2181, PSI XIV 1392; this particular articulation of puntuaction seems to be due to the syntactical complexity of Plato’s longer sentences. For the use of the coronis to divide the different sections cf. P.Oxy. V 843, VII 1017, XVII 2102. Diacritical marks are applied with economy and discrimination, in case of potential ambiguity. For the use of diple in Platonic texts cf. Diogenes Laertius 3.65 f. and an earlier, anonymous writer in Mélanges Tisserant i 25 - 30, but the use seems wider, according to P.Mil.Vogl. I 9 i 8, X 1248 115, XVII 2102 iii 1, 13, 16, 24, XXVII 2468 ii 9,22, iii 7,, XV 1809 iii 16) |
