person
Irana
also: Εἴρανα, Eranna (Cox's rendering), ῤάννα (Cox print)
Addressee of fr. 91's one-line exasperation — 'anyone more scornful than you I have never met' — and of the swallow-question of fr. 135. Cox prints the doubtful reading 'ὦ ῤάννα' and renders the name Eranna.
Reading notes
- Fragments of Books Three and Four §91 Irana
Εἴρανα in the modern reading; Cox prints 'ἐπ᾽ ὦ ῤάννα' and renders the name Eranna, noting the reading is doubtful. The same name appears in fr. 135 ('Why, Irana, does Pandion's swallow wake me?' — still staged). One line of pure exasperation, kept by a metrician.
- Fragments of Uncertain Book, with the Epigrams and Dubia §135 Irana
Addressee also of the one-line exasperation of fr. 91; Cox's copy prints the word as a doubtful reading that could equally be the adjective 'lovely' — the name is the modern editions' choice, and the doubt is logged.
