Abstract
E. LOBEL, FIRST EDITOR IN 1964 of the second-century Oxyrhynchus papyrus 2509,' containing twenty-one largely complete hexameters, tentatively suggested that they derive from Hesiod's Catalogue of Women, and deal with the death of Actaeon. This identification is not accepted in the standard edition of the fragments by R. Merkelbach and M. L. West,2 nor, despite new evidence, in the latest revision of the Oxford Classical Text of Hesiod (1983), but it was strongly supported in 1969 by A. Casanova.3 Despite subsequent neglect,4 the case for its inclusion among the fragments of the Eoeae is even better than Casanova indicated.
