  •    1. Prof. Olivieri gives a more

       2. plausible explanation of
       3. this line's sense. He reads
       4. it as Greek.
       5. “Παπαῖ Σατάν, παπαῖ Σατάν, ἄληπτε”.
       6. The objection that “ἄληπτε”
       7. should have made “alette”
       8. in Italian is not serious.
       9. Not knowing Greek himself,
       10. Dante must have got the
       11. words from some scholar
       12. and he either erred in their
       13. transcription, or his autho-
       14. rity erred in their ortho-
       15. graphy. But I would
       16. suggest “Πάππε” instead


  •     1. of “Παπαῖ”. Τhe Greek would
        2. thus come nearer to Dan-
        3. te's line,
        4. “Πάππε Σατάν, πάππε Σατάν, ἄληπτε”.
