[65] For ταρ see on l. 8. Herodianos expressly read it here, not “τ᾽ ἄρ” on the ground “οὔκ ἐστιν τέ σύνδεσμος”; <*> “γὰρ ἂν ἕτερος τέ”. He thus <*> excludes the accepted but <*> -jectural reading “εἴ θ᾽” for “ἠδ᾽”. <*> the existence of “ταρ” — and the analogy of “γάρ” shews that it is at least possible — there is no reason for disregarding the unanimous tradition. The case is precisely the same in 93, where the corresponding conj. “οὔθ᾽” has supplanted the only attested reading “οὐδ᾽”. For the use of the gen. cf. H. G. § 151 c, and for other cases of res pro rei defectu (vow and hecatomb not paid) 5.178, 21.457. A colon is put at the end of the line (with Cauer), because the following “αἴ κε” is not a continuation of the preceding line, but recurs to the opening of the sentence (62), ‘in the hope that.’
