μεγάλης: 1350 “μεγάλοι... λόγοι”: Plat. Phaedo 95B “μὴ μέγα λέγε”: Verg. Aen. 10. 547 “Dixerat ille aliquid magnum.” ῥεύματι: Aesch. Pers. 88 “μεγάλῳ ῥεύματι φωτῶν” (so ib. 412 “ῥεῦμα Περσικοῦ στρατοῦ”). Eur. I. T. 1437 “παῦσαι διώκων ῥεῦμά τ᾽ ἐξορμῶν στρατοῦ”. The transposition ῥεύματι πολλῷ is unnecessary. In the same dipodia an anapaest must not precede a dactyl, nor a dactyl an anapaest; but a spondee can be followed by a dactyl, as O. C. 146 “δηλῶ δ᾽. οὐ γὰρ ἂν ᾦδ᾽ ἀλλοτρίοις”.
