[165] ἄτας ὕπερ “on account of ruin” (i.e. “to avert it”): cp. Soph. Ant. 932 “κλαύμαθ᾽ ὑπάρξει βραδυτῆτος ὕπερ.” So Aesch. Seven 111 “ἴδετε παρθένων ἱκέσιον λόχον δουλοσύνας ὕπερ,” “to avert slavery.” Cp. 187. ὀρνυμένας πόλει: the dat. (poet.) as after verbs of attacking, e.g. ἐπιέναι, ἐπιτίθεσθαι. Musgrave's conj. ὑπερορνυμένας πόλει (the compound nowhere occurs) has been adopted by some editors.
