The στέμμα is the Apollinis infula of Aen. ii. 430, a wreath of wool wrapped round the staff in token of suppliantship; cf. the ἐριόστεπτος κλάδος of Aisch. Supp. 23. It is probably the fillet worn, in ordinary circumstances, by the priest himself, or possibly, as has been suggested, the wreath from the image of the god. |

ἔχων is subordinate to the preceding participles, indicating a detail, and not co-ordinate with λυσόμενος, expressing the main object of his journey. It is therefore best to retain the vulg. instead of reading στέμμα τ' with Bentley (to agree with στέμμα in 28). |
