 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2004.04.35
Another noticeable departure from other editors is the placement of the Titanomachy fragments together with those of the Corinthiaca and the Europia, numbered continuously, under the heading Eumelus.
Nevertheless, since this poem was sometimes attributed to Eumelus in antiquity and since its possible incorporation into the epic cycle would certainly have occurred after the 5th century B.C., it seems legitimate to print its fragments together with those of the other works assigned to Eumelus rather than anywhere else.
18 is from the section of Eumelus fragments entitled "fragmenta incerti operis", not from Bernabé's Titanomachy fragments.
