Two Unnoticed References to Aristophanes and One to Demosthenes in Pollux: The Contribution of Ms. <i>Matritensis</i> 4625 to Atticist Lexicography

Abstract This paper analyses the ms. Matritensis 4625 (Pollux’s Onomasticon ), a witness neglected by Bethe in his edition. The text of this manuscript preserves a different and in several passages more complete redaction of the Onomasticon . It was therefore possible to identify, in Book 2, two unnoticed references to Aristophanes and one to Demosthenes.
