[437] δόλον δέ. Here, again, the reason is given by δέ = ‘for she was plotting.’ In translation the sense of the particle may be kept by throwing an emphasis on “δόλον”, ‘'twas a trap she was devising.’ ‘And having scooped lairs for us in the sea-sand, she sat awaiting us, and we came quite close to her, and she laid us down in a row.’
