[102] μή πως must be read here instead of “μή πω”. We find “μή πως” used in Homer twenty-five times with optative and subjunctive moods; “μή πω” only four times, Il. 17. 422; 18. 134; Od. 22. 431; 23. 59; and in each case with an imperative.

, and Od.8. 579.“ Ζεὺς ἐγγυάλιξε
σκῆπτρόν τ̓ ἠδὲ θέμιστας, ἵνα σφίσι βουλεύῃσθα
