Notes:
Strattis fr. 38 Kock, now 39 K.-A. Again at
omicron 904, where 'Rivers' (Potamoi) is correctly 'Potamians' and where the quotation has a negative and is presumably therefore a rhetorical question: 'are you not...?' That version is reckoned to be the authentic one, though the paroemiographers preferred this one.
For 'linen' (or flax) cf. generally
lambda 561,
lambda 564,
lambda 571,
lambda 572.
