[531] For the dat. οἱ see on 515. εὐξαμένοιο is a change to the more common constr. with the gen., see H. G. § 243. 3 (d'. The transition is rather harsh as the pronoun and participle are so close together; as a rule, when they stand in different cases they are in different lines. Od. 4.646 “ἤ σε βίηι ἀέκοντος ἀπηύρα” is not really similar, as “ἀέκοντος” goes closely with “βίηι”, leaving “σε” to be construed with the verb (see however M. and R.'s note there). So in Od. 14.527 “ὅττί ῥά οἱ βιότου περικήδετο νόσφιν ἐόντος” the part. is gen. after “βιότου”. It is needless to read “εὑ” with Düntzer; still less can we, with La Roche, take οἱ as dat. after “εὐξαμένοιο”, sc. “Ἀπόλλωνι”.
