τίπτ᾽ αὖ (= 1105 “ἀνδρῶν”), Bothe's correction of “τί ποτ᾽ αὖ”, has been generally received. As Dind. remarks, Aesch. has twice used this epic “τίπτε” in lyrics ( Aesch. Ag. 975, Aesch. Pers. 554). τὸ κατ᾽ ἆμαρ, daily provision. Cp. Isocr. or. 11 § 39 “ἀλῆται καὶ τῶν καθ᾽ ἡμέραν ἐνδεεῖς”. Eur. uses this phrase as an adv. (‘every day,’ Eur. Ion 123, Soph. El. 182), like “τὸ καθ᾽ ἡμέραν” ( Ar. Eq. 1126 etc.).
