οὔτε … τε, as O. T. 653, Ph. 1321, Ant. 763, El. 350, 1078, fr. 86, 4. The converse, “τε … οὔτε”, is not found (n. on 367). ὁδοῖς, his journeys from Thebes to Argos, and from Argos to Attica. Ant. 1212 “δυστυχεστάτην ι κέλευθον ἕρπω τῶν παρελθουσῶν ὁδῶν”. (Not, “"proceedings."”） Wecklein reads ξυνήδομαί σου (for σοι): rightly, I think. With σοι, ταῖς παρελθούσαις ὁδοῖς is usu. taken as causal, “"on account of thy past journeys"”: but such a dat., in addition to the dat. of the person, is most awkward. We should expect either the dat. with “ἐπί”, or else a gen., as Dem. or. 15 § 15 “Ῥοδίοις γε...συγχαίρω τῶν γεγενημένων”. And ξυνήδομαι was constantly used with a dat. of the thing in which one takes joy, or of which one approves: Isocr. or. 5 § 8 “συνησθεὶς...τοῖς περὶ τῆς εἰρήνης”: or. 8 § 87 “συνησθησόμενοι ταῖς ἡμετέραις συμφοραῖς” (exult in): Eur. Med. 136 “οὐδὲ συνήδομαι ...ἄλγεσι δώματος”: Hipp. 1286 “τί...τοῖσδε συνήδει;” (these deeds): Rhes. 958 “οὐ μὴν θανόντι γ᾽ οὐδαμῶς συνήδομαι” (his death): Arist. Rhet. 2.4. 3 “τὸν συνηδόμενον τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς” (rejoicing in one's prosperity).
