• Resumen

  • The article discusses for the first time the use of hiatus in some papyri (P.herc. 255, 418, 1084, 1091, 1112) which have been assigned to Metrodorus (Spinelli/1986) and are not included in Mcosker’s recent study on hiatus in Epicurean authors (2017). There are several undeniable or likely cases of hiatus in these papyri. This supports the two hypotheses that the papyri are from a Metrodorian work (Spinelli) and that Metrodorus was not concerned with avoiding hiatus at all (Mcosker).
