[36] βλοσυρῶπις should rather be “-ώπις”, as the scansion is only possible if the last syllable is long by nature, which was probably the case; see H. G. § 116 (3), and notes on 10.292, 18.357. ἐστεφάνωτο: see 5.739, and for the Gorgon head 5.741. It is clear (see note on the latter passage) that this couplet at least cannot be earlier than the 7th cent.
