[110] ἱστῶν τεχνῆσσαι, see crit. note. Cp. for the form “τιμῆντα Il.18. 475.The adjective in this clause is parallel to “ἴδριες” (108), and “ἱστῶν” to “νῆα ἐλαυνέμεν”. If the infinitive τεχνῆσαι be retained, it will form the antithesis to “ἐλαυνέμεν”. But elsewhere in Homer only the middle voice “τεχνάομαι” is found.
