[403] θέμιστες ‘sentences,’ ‘oracles’ in the sense of answers to the question what ought to be done.

For θέμιστες there was an ancient v. l. Τόμουροι, preserved by Strabo. The word denoted the priests of Zeus at Dodona. It was doubtless brought into the Homeric text by some learned grammarian.

414-416. Repeated from 1. 332-334. The σταθμὸς τέγεος is generally taken to be the door-post of the “μέγαρον”: see the Appendix on the Homeric house.
