  1. Two old hypercorrections in contemporary editions of euripides' medea 497 and strattis, fr. 9 K.–a.Georgios A. Xenis - 2014 - Classical Quarterly 64 (2):837-840.
    There is a widespread practice of spelling the forms κεχρώσμεθα in Euripides' Medea 497 and ϕώζειν in Strattis, fr. 9 K.–A. with the long diphthong omega–iota, that is, κεχρώισμεθα or κεχρῴσμεθα and ϕώιζειν or ϕῴζειν. These spellings are not correct from the etymological point of view, but are recommended by ancient grammarians. In this note I identify the foundation on which these recommendations rest, and provide an assessment of its philological solidness.
