Abstract
The article investigates the ancient edition of Archilochus’ works. It argues among other things that P.Oxy. 2311 (fr. 48 W.2) represents the first column of the Trimeters and that the Epodes were organised according to metre, from the most iambic (beginning with frr. 172-181 W.2) to the least iambic (ending with the new fragment preserved by BKT X 11, which was probably entirely dactylic).
