[525] I formerly kept τοῦ πρὸς δ᾽, with L. But the anastrophe of πρός seems to be confined to instances in which it is immediately followed by an attributive genitive, equiv. to an epithet: see on 178. For πρὸς τοῦ δ᾽ we could indeed cite Aesch. Eum. 593 “πρὸς τοῦ δ᾽ ἐπείσθης καὶ τίνος βουλεύμασιν;” But I now prefer τοὔπος δ᾽, because （1） Creon seems to ask the Chorus for a confirmation of the almost incredible report that Oed. had brought such a charge: he would naturally be less concerned to know whether any one had uttered it before Oed. （2） Verse 527 favours τοὔπος. —Cp. 848 ἀλλ᾽ ὡς φανέν γε τοὔπος.
