Comments	OCT includes this phrase, but Sherwin-White quotes it in square brackets and argues that the explanation of σοφοκλεῖς was added by an editor; considers that the Greek phrase "destroys the urbanitas"/that "the point is made clear and neat by the Latin explanation". Analysis of the norms of c-s in this, and the other texts, suggests that a function 'explanation' would be extremely rare and possibly suggests that the phrase should indeed be seen as a later addition. Whitton also says that the balance is lightly tipped towards deletion, citing four reasons including the fact that 'P. nowhere else glosses in Greek'.
