Un falso problema di testo in Gregorio Nazianzeno (nota critica a carm. 2.1.12, v. 426)

Abstract

The paper proposes an exegesis and a solution to Greg. Naz. carm. 2.1.12 v. 426, where the difficult word κόρδαξ, transmitted by L and C, is set in cruces. The word usually indicates a theatrical (and obscene) dance, but – by Gregorius and his commentators – is used to indicate the male dancer who performs it, often at weddings (a fertility omen?).
