A study of the available evidence on the early centuries of Aeschylean philology in the ancient world – especially of Aeschylus papyri with hypotheseis and/or marginalia and of corpora of scholia, including scholia to other authors – allows reconstruction of an intellectual path which starts from erudite research and collections of materials characteristic of the Peripatetic milieu, and winds its way through Alexandrian philology, beginning from the Zenodotean age, and proceeding with Callimachus’ Pinakes. The turning point is represented by Aristophanes of Byzantium (lexicographical study, learned hypotheseis, colometric analysis of the lyrical parts) and the subsequent commentaries produced, in all likelihood, from Aristarchus onward, up to Didymus.

Abstract
A study of the available evidence on the early centuries of Aeschylean philology in the ancient world – especially of Aeschylus papyri with hypotheseis and/or marginalia and of corpora of scholia, including scholia to other authors – allows reconstruction of an intellectual path which starts from erudite research and collections of materials characteristic of the Peripatetic milieu, and winds its way through Alexandrian philology, beginning from the Zenodotean age, and proceeding with Callimachus’ Pinakes. The turning point is represented by Aristophanes of Byzantium (lexicographical study, learned hypotheseis, colometric analysis of the lyrical parts) and the subsequent commentaries produced, in all likelihood, from Aristarchus onward, up to Didymus.
