Abstract

The paper offers a new example of the so called «coppia contigua» in Hesychius’ Lexicon, one of the most important Greek dictionary to survive from antiquity. The lemma α 2891 (ἅλες ἄφθονοι), corrupted in the transmission of text, is addendum to test. 103 Kassel – Austin on Menander: in fact ἅλες ἄφθονοι plays on the image of Menander’s ‘salt’ compared to the salt of the sea from which Aphrodite was born, according to Plu. Mor. 853a-854d.
