[14] ὀΞέα δερκόμενος: cf. Anth. Pal. vi. 16. 1, ib. 109. 9 “Πὰν ὦ σκοπιῆτα”, ib. 107. 1 “ὑλησκοπῳ”, Orph. h. xi. 9 “εὔσκοπε, θηρητήρ”; for Pan “ἀποσκοπῶν” cf. Ital.xiii. 340, and see Roscher die Sagen p. 161, Lex. 1401. So Artemis is “θηροσκόπος” xxvii. 11.
τότε: here and in 19 preferable to “τοτέ”, but in 22 an oxytone accent seems required, with the meaning “anon.” οἶον: the simplest correction of “οἷον”; qualifies “ἕσπερος”, “only at evening,” when the sport is over, tum demum. For “οἶον” = “μόνον” cf. Theog. 29 “γαστέρες οἶον”, Aesch. Ag.136(glossed “μόνον”), and it has been so taken in Il. 9.355; often later, e.g. Theocr. xxv. 199, Apoll. Arg. ii. 634 etc. Of the conjectures, none are graphically possible except Hermann's “οἶος”, “alone”; but Pan is attended by the nymphs; cf. 19.This text is part of:
