summarise this: 	The form Ἑρμανούβηϲ is not attested in documents. There is likewise no instance of Ἀνούβηϲ (but cf. the Copticized Πανούβηϲ in P.Erl. I 108.ii.50 [Theb.; IV]). It is attractive, therefore, to emend Ἑρμανούβηϲ to Ἑρμάνουβιϲ (the final syllable of the name, being in anceps position, could be either short or long). The implied context of the poem is obscure. There is some hesitation among translators whether Ἑρμανούβηϲ is the subject ("the general H. turned into a dog" [Budé]) or predicate ("the general [unnamed] turned into the dog H." [Loeb]) of ἐγένετο. But surely the satire would be more biting if the general was actually named Hermanoubes/Hermanubis: the poet then would be playing on the associations of his name with Anubis the dog on the one hand (κύων) and Hermes the thief on the other (Ἑρμᾶϲ ... ἀϲημοκλέπταϲ). Whether κύων is a general insult or connotes the protective duties of the strategos is unclear, and so is the nature of the implied relationship between the strategos and the two thievish Hermeses.
