[1119] τὸν Κορίνθ. ξένον with σὲ, instead of a vocative, gives a peremptory tone: Soph. Ant. 441 “σὲ δή, σὲ τὴν νεύουσαν εἰς πέδον κάρα, ι φὴς ἢ καταρνεῖ κ.τ.λ.,” where the equivalent of ἐρωτῶ here is understood. Cp. Soph. Aj. 71 “οὗτος, σὲ τὸν τὰς κ.τ.λ.” So in the nomin. Xen. Cyrop. 4.5.22 “σὺ δ᾽, ἔφη, ὁ τῶν Ὑρκανίων ἄρχων, ὑπόμεινον.” Blaydes thinks that τῷ Κορινθίῳ ξένῳ in Aristoph. Thes. 404 comes hence. Surely rather from the Sthenoboea of Eur. ap. Athen. 427e “πεσὸν δὲ νιν λέληθεν οὐδὲν ἐκ χερός, ι ἀλλ᾽ εὐθὺς αὐδᾷ, τῷ Κορινθίῳ ξένῳ.”
