Knights
Seven papyri preserve fragments of Knights. 3 There are 31 medieval MSS, which divide into two main families: R and the sources of S on the one side, and the MSS designated by the siglum y on the other. In addition, M and one of the correcting hands in Γ derive from lost early MSS related to but independent of R S and y. The recensions made by Triclinius (at least three) and by later Byzantine scholars were based on recentiores of the y family. In this edition the y family is represented by VEΓΑΘVp3C. Accompanying the text of Knights is a substantial corpus of scholia both metrical and exegetic.
