- very beautiful
Meaning
The adjective praises the lovely youth mentioned among benefits dependent on the Charites (LX.8). It agrees with ἥβης, not with the goddesses themselves. The verse belongs to the supplied text’s relocated LX.6–9 passage, so it should be read in that hymn rather than counted again under LXIX.
