Written in English because dedicated to Frederick E. Brenk, S.J., the paper once again addresses the textual problem of fr. 134 S. (from the lost work Perì Érotos, On Love), where Plutarch quotes a long fragment of Menander. The poet studies the ways of falling in love. The text is difficult and the last line is corrupt. The end of the fragment is also quoted in the dialogue Amatorius, but similarly corrupt. To solve the problem, a new textual conjecture is proposed.
