[193] εἴ τί που ἔστι, ‘if it is in anywise possible.’ The sequence of this and the following clauses is rendered obscure by the omission of the connecting thoughts, which we have to supply. Thus, ‘If it is anywise possible, be persuaded by me, [to cease weeping]; for to me at least it is no pleasure to weep after supper; and, besides, the morn will come [and shall serve for weeping. Therefore let us forbear weeping now:] not that I at all grudge,’ etc.
