Either a commenatry on a poem, with an excursus on the arrangement of the work as a whole, or a continuous monograph on oikonomia (illustrated with specific examples).

Description

A commentary on the Argonaut story or a treatise on literary criticism. Several episodes from that the story (none of which is found in Apollonius of Rhodes) are discussed, among them Heracles' rescue of Hesione (with a citation of Dionysius Scytobrachion, lines 5-8) and Aphrodite's intervention with Aietes (line 23? known from Naupactia). Although both Dionysius and Apollonius are mentioned by name, it seems unlikely that either is the main subject of the text. Lines 9-17 evidently contained an estimate of the arrangement (oikonomia) of a work (presumably on the Argonauts), but here too the prcise subject is unclear, and perhaps there is a comparison between two works.
