[396] τῶν κέν τις τόδ ἔχῃσιν. ‘Some one of them may surely have this (kingship).’ The subjunctive giving the force of Telemachus' assent, and not merely his statement that the fact is likely to take place. See Monro, H. G. § 275. For a rare use of the mood without “ἄν” cp. phrase “καί νύ τις ὧδ᾽ εἴπῃσι” Od.6. 275.
