[221] προπροκυλινδόμενος recurs in Od. 17.525 of a wanderer rolled on and on away from his home; a context which makes the reduplication seem more natural than it does here, where it strengthens the meaning of the verb, rolling violently, i.e. grovelling, rather than of the preposition. The gen. Διός seems to depend on one “προ”-, but the whole phrase is strange.
