[218] For συνοχωκότε Valckenaer is doubtless right in reading with Hesych. “συνοκωχότε” (Cobet M. C. 304), cf. “ὀκωχή, ἀνοκωχή, διοκωχή, κατοκωχή”. For “συνέχειν” = join (or intrans. meet) cf. 4.133. ἐπενήνοθε is a doubtful form. “ἀνήνοθε” 11.266 is from root “ἀνεθ-”, whence “ἄνθος”, and we should probably with Brandreth read “ἐπανήνοθε” here; in Od. 17.270 most MSS. have “ἀνήνοθε”, but Ar. read “ἐνήνοθε”. In the Od. (Od. 8.365, Od. 17.270) it is a perf.; in Il. it must be a plupf. (10.134, 11.266) with the secondary person-endings (H. G. § 68). The sense is sprouted or simply appeared on the surface (see on 11.266, and cf. “ἰούλους ἀνθῆσαι” Od. 11.320). λάχνη, stubble, bristles; cf. “λαχνήεις”, of swine, 9.548.
