We have compared the results from a model for the chemical evolution of an elliptical galaxy with initial luminous mass of 2 ·10M⊙ and effective radius of 2 kpc with the recent abundance determinations for the Lyman-break galaxy MS 1512-cB58 at a redshift z=2.7276. After correcting the iron abundance determination for the presence of dust we concluded that the observed [Si/Fe], [Mg/Fe], [N/Fe] ...
