Hesychiana Tarentina

This note deals with two Tarentine glosses transmitted by Hesychius. In the former (Hsch. α 4656 Latte ἄναυτα), I propose that the problematic form ἠπειρωτικά (printed as such, or wrongly emended, by various scholars) should be corrected into ἢ παραυτίκα, which is palaeographically very plausible and paralleled by other glosses in the Lexicon. In the latter (Hsch. τ 433 Hansen –Cunningham †τελλίην), I propose to read Τελλήν, a personal name attested in Tarentum; the interpretamentum ὁ δεῖνα tells us that it was used to describe an unidentified person, precisely like Titius and Caius in Latin (and Tizio and Caio in Italian).
