[115] ζωοῦ οὐδὲ θανόντος ‘of his being alive, nor yet of his death.’ The second is the more important point, Telemachus wishing to make it clear that Nestor's account was at least not unfavourable. The commentators who take “οὐδὲ θανόντος” as a mere epexegesis of “ζωοῦ”— ‘living, not dead’—lose sight of this.

124-141. Repeated from 4. 333-350. So 142-146 = 4. 556-560, and 148-149 = 4. 585-586.
