. φλεξας ἐπεὶ περικαίεο πυρί, The better MSS. leave a vacant space for line 200 and of line 201 have only φλέξας ἐπεὶ περικαίεο πυρί (κῆρι emend. Bentley). Only the late and inferior MSS. (Schneider's LMNO) supply ἔστης δ’ ἐν μέσσῃσι κατοικτείρασα δὲ Λητὼ | φῦκος ἅπαν κατέφλεξας, or similar words; a very bad attempt to fill the lacuna. Some verb of speaking seems necessary.
