τοὐμὸν, not “τῆς ἐμῆς”, since “ψυχῆς αἷμα” forms one notion: cp. 1390: Ant. 794 n. ἐκπίνους᾿: cp. Ant. 531“σὺ δ̓, ἣ κατ᾽ οἴκους ὡς ἔχιδν᾽ ὑφειμένη” | “λήθουσά μ᾽ ἐξέπινες.” ἄκρατον, ‘sheer,’ implies the pitiless cruelty of the vampire (cp. Xen. An. 4. 8. 14“τούτους...καὶ ὠμοὺς δεῖ καταφαγεῖν”): so Aesch. Ch. 577“φόνου δ᾽ Ἐρινὺς οὐχ ὑπεσπανισμένη” | “ἄκρατον αἷμα πίεται”. νῦν δ̓: repeated from 783, after the long parenthesis. ἕκηλα, adv.: cp. 164. οὕνεχ̓: cp. 387. ἡμερεύσομεν: a word used in Attic prose (as=‘to pass the day’).
