ἔθαλψεν is trans., “με” being understood, as after “ἔμπρησον” in Ph.801(n.). ἄτης: cp. 1104. ὅδ᾽ αὖ should be taken with ἔθαλψεν, because (1) “ὅδ̓” fitly stands in the first clause, and (2) “διῇξε” thus gains force by its abruptness: cp. 1088 f. If a point were placed after “ἀρτίως, ὅδ̓” would still be better than “ὁ δ̓. —διῇξε”, a word used by medical writers, as Wakefield pointed out; e.g., Hippocr. Morb.1. 5“ὑφ᾽ ἑωυτῶν ὀδύναι διαΐσσουσιν ἄλλοτε ἄλλῄ τοῦ σώματος.—ἀγύμναστον”: cp. Eur. fr. 683 “μῶν κρυμὸς αὐτῆς πλευρὰ γυμνάζει χολῆς;—διαβόρος”: distinguish “διάβορον” (pass.) in 676. Cp. Soph. Ph.7“νόσῳ ...διαβόρῳ” (n.).
