[245] Aristotle ( Metaph. iii. 5) says (“῞ομηρος”) “ἐποίησε τὸν ῞εκτορα, ὡς ἐξέστη ὑπὸ τῆς πληγῆς, κεῖσθαι ἀλλοφρονέοντα”, but this may be only an instance of inaccurate quotation, with a reminiscence of 23.698. “ἀλλοφρονέων” (for which see note on 128) is however adopted by van L., after Naber, on account of the immediate neighbourhood of “ὀλιγοδρανέων”, which seems to be identical in sense with “ὀλιγηπελέων”. But Epic poetry does not studiously avoid such juxtapositions.
