[40] οὗτος ἀνήρ, not equivalent to “ἀνὴρ ὅδε”, as a periphrasis for “ἐγώ”, but =‘this man (about whom you ask) is not far off, and thou shalt soon know that for thyself;’ sc. shalt know that he is not far off, when I tell thee that it is I, “ὃς λαὸν ἤγειρα”. For the use of “ὅς” with the first person compare note on Od. 1.359.
