ὑφηγητῆρος is supported against “ὑφ᾽ ἡγητῆρος” (a) by such examples as 83, “ὡς ἐμοῦ μόνης πέλας”, (b) by the fact that the compound with “ὑπό” is suitable where, as here, the sense is that no one so much as hinted or indicated the way. Cp. Plat. Crito 54E “πράττωμεν ταύτῃ, ἐπειδὴ ταύτῃ ὁ θεὸς ὑφηγεῖται”. So O. T. 966 “ὧν ὑφηγητῶν” (“"on whose showing"”): ib. 1260 “ὡς ὑφηγητοῦ τινος”.
