[325] ὄψιμον ὀψιτέλεστον: for the repetition of “ὀψέ”, see § 1 s; for the asyndeton, cf. 1.99, § 2 l.
ὅου κλέος: because of the fulfilment of the prophecy. For the form “ὅου”, see on v. 518, § 17 c. 327 = v. 313.—This verse is repeated since the numeral adjs. are most important for the interpretation of the omen.This text is part of:
