Ms. Parisinus Suppl. Gr. 388, written in the 10th century, transmits several poetical works, among which Theognis, Pseudo-Phocylides and Dionysius the Periegete. These three texts, in particular, were corrected and translated in the 12th century by a Western scholar, who provided them with an interlinear Latin version. This paper focuses on the Latin translation of Pseudo Phocylides’ Sentences, by scrutinizing its context, its forma- tive stages and its nature, as well as by reflecting on the tools (e.g. Greco-Latin glossaries) that the translator may have used in order to achieve his goal. There follows a diplomatic transcription of the entire Latin translation, combined with the very Greek text of the manuscript.

Abstract
Ms. Parisinus Suppl. Gr. 388, written in the 10th century, transmits several poetical works, among which Theognis, Pseudo-Phocylides and Dionysius the Periegete. These three texts, in particular, were corrected and translated in the 12th century by a Western scholar, who provided them with an interlinear Latin version. This paper focuses on the Latin translation of Pseudo Phocylides’ Sentences, by scrutinizing its context, its forma- tive stages and its nature, as well as by reflecting on the tools (e.g. Greco-Latin glossaries) that the translator may have used in order to achieve his goal. There follows a diplomatic transcription of the entire Latin translation, combined with the very Greek text of the manuscript.
