The Parmenides comparison that DK brackets is retained because it belongs to the continuous published translation and is represented in the displayed Greek

Published passage: Plato, Symposium 178b

Replaces excerpt with continuous Burnet carrier, including full Hesiod and Parmenides lines. Burnet places the Acusilaus agreement immediately before the Earth-and-Love clause; Jowett places it after Parmenides. All translated content is retained; translation unchanged.

This numbered entry is a cross-reference to Epimenides3B8. The shared witness is reproduced here for readability; most of it is a heavily restored papyrus text. Its second narrative is expressly attributed to Epimenides, not to Acusilaus. Diels’ early edition prints AcusilausB7 as Philodemus61b1,p46=EpimenidesB8; modernchaptermapping is explicit

All existing modern-language translation text is preserved. The same quoted ancient passage remains paired.

The restoration predates later DK revisions and is verified in Diels 1922. Existing Italian translation remains unchanged.

The exact paired Greek is Müller, FHG I (1841), fr.31, as transcribed by the Digital FHG project. It is a shorter form than DK 9 B22: Hellanicus and derivation of the Homeridae name from the poet are absent. This is not a full translation of DK’s longer Harpocration witness

English and explicit credit “Translated by G. W. B.” visually checked in the 1915 scan, p.110. The diaeresis in Acusilaüs and circumflex in Hesionê are retained

One editorial […] marks the removal, in both languages, of the intervening competing genealogies. The Greek is the corresponding excerpt of Müller, FHG I p.100, as transcribed by Digital FHG; no original has been reconstructed from the English

Reason for excerpting: Botsford follows the old Latin interpretation “Pandora” in the Hesiod clause, whereas Müller’s Greek prints Πρυνείης and DK has Προνόης. Removing that competing Hesiod clause avoids silently pairing Pandora with a different Greek name. Acusilaus’ identification of Hesione is fully retained

The second English paragraph concerning stones becoming men belongs to schol. Pindar, Olympian9.70 and is not part of DK 9 B33. It is excluded. The complete DK witness is not reproduced with this reading

Published passage: Scholia on Odyssey10.2; Müller, FHG I (1841), Acusilaus fr.7, p.100; Botsford’s first sentence excerpted

English transcribed from the 1919 scan, printed p.139 (PDF page151), and checked visually. No translation has been composed or modernized

The pair uses Grenfell–Hunt’s 1919 Greek reconstruction on the same page. Its αὐτοῖς, ἱερόν, ἀγορᾷ and conjectured θύειν differ from the later DK reconstruction. Square brackets, correction parentheses and question marks are retained; the lacuna dots are normalized to one seven-dot group

Partial relative to the complete DK dossier: the Theophrastus introduction and the commentator’s final explanation are omitted. The complete quotation attributed to Acusilaus is included

The unusual wording “he was conquered most certainly of all” is the published translation, not an OCR correction or a new interpretation. The papyrus text is uncertain
