401-404

As to Nauck's change in the order of these verses (cr. n.), it is enough to observe that (1) Lichas could not reply to the question of his “δέσποινα” with such a rebuff as σὺ δ᾽ εἰς τί δή με κ.τ.λ. (2) It is out of accord with Deianeira's courteous dignity that she should address Lichas with such words as τόλμησον εἰπεῖν, εἰ φρονεῖς κ.τ.λ.
