[412] λέγω δ᾽ a solemn exordium, bespeaking attention: cp. 449.
τυφλόν μ᾽ ὠνείδισας As ὠνείδισας could not stand for ἀπεκάλεσας, “called me reproachfully,” τυφλόν must stand for ὡς τυφλὸν ὄντα. For the ellipse of ὄντα, cp. Soph. El. 899 “ὡς δ᾽ ἐν γαλήνῃ πάντ᾽ ἐδερκόμην τόπον”: for that of ὡς, Soph. OC 142 “μή μ᾽, ἱκετεύω, προσίδητ᾽ ἄνομον.”
