τὰ νῦν τάδε ἐστοργὼς ἐκείνους, as the text stands, must be sarcastic; ‘how I now chance to love them,’ ἐκείνους being governed by ἐστοργώς (cf. ix. 113. 2) and τὰ νῦν τάδε adverbial. Stein, however, conjectures that a participle, e.g. ἀποστυγέων has fallen out after ἐκείνους, and construes ‘how well pleased I am with my present condition (cf. στέργειν μάλιστα infr.). For τὰ νῦν τάδε cf. Arist. Pax 858τὰ νῦν τάδε πράττει”, Eur. Heraclid. 641εὐτυχεῖς τὰ νῦν τάδε”, Iph. Aul. 537.

τιμήν, ‘my rank and honours.’ For the γέρεα cf. vi. 56 f., and for the deposition vi. 61-70.
