[9] εὖτε. When this conjunction introduces a sentence it always forms an asyndeton. The relation of εὖτε to “ὅτε” is explained by Curtius, G. E. p. 537, showing that “ὅτε”, with the initial Jod, becomes joτε, i. e. “ἐοτε”, which passes into “εὖτε” by the Ionic contraction, as “ἐμέο” to “ἐμεῦ”. ‘At the moment when they had tasted the inwards and were burning the thigh-slices on the altar in the god's honour, the others straightway put in.’

σπλάγχνα, μηρία. For these details see inf. 456, etc.
