 This is seen especially in the orthographic peculiarities of the fragments like α = η, ω = ου, η = ει, σ = θ and the use of the Doric accentuation, though it is uncertain whether these features were actually present in Alcman's original compositions or were added either by Laconian performers in the subsequent generations (see Hinge's opinion below) or even by Alexandrian scholars who gave the text a Doric feel using features of the contemporary, and not the ancient, Doric dialect.Apollonius Dyscolus describes Alcman as "constantly using the Aeolic dialect".However, the validity of this judgment is limited by the fact that it is said about the use of the digamma in the third-person pronoun "his/her"; it is perfectly Doric as well.
