ὑπεικάθοιμι: on these forms, see O. T. 651 n. πλουσία: in contrast with the “κεναὶ τράπεζαι” of 192. περιρρείτω, be superabundant; a sense of “περιρρεῖν” not elsewhere found in Greek of this age; but cp. Plut. Per. 16(referring to the domestic economy of Pericles), “οὐδενὸς οἷον” (as is usual) “ἐν οἰκίᾳ μεγάλῃ καὶ πράγμασιν ἀφθόνοις περιρρέοντος”.
