[188] ἐν is here still an adverb, within, ‘his heart in his shaggy breast.’ λασίοισι, according to the Schol. A, because they cover the heart, “ἐν ἧι ἐστὶ τὸ πυρῶδες καὶ θερμὸν καὶ μανικὸν τῆς ψυχῆς .. θέρμη γὰρ αἰτία τῆς ἐκφύσεως τῶν τριχῶν”. So Hentze quotes Galen, De Temp.εἴ τις ἱκανῶς εἴη δασὺς τὰ στέρνα, θυμικὸν ἀποφαίνονται”.
