This contribution analyses some textual problems related to the interpretation of three theonyms in Cornutus’s mythographical treaty. In each case the textual testimonies and the solutions adopted in the critical editions by Lang (1881) and Torres (2018) are considered. A text is proposed for each case on the basis of the etymological and allegorizing method employed in the treaty.
