[41] “ὅτ᾽ ἂν .. στρέφεται” is obviously wrong; “στρέφεται” cannot be a subj., see note on 1.67. Brandreth and Paech conj. “ὡς δ᾽ ὁπότ᾽”, Nauck “ἠύτε δ᾽”, Monro most ingeniously “ὡς δ᾽ ὅτ᾽ ἔναντα” (cf. 20.67; but the dat. is unexplained, and there seems to be no better analogy than the doubtful dat. with “ἀντίος” in 15.584, 20.422, and with “ἀντιάειν” 6.127, 21.151, 431). An original “ὡς δ᾽ ὅτε”, with hiatus, would best explain the text.
