[127] The dual, as read by Zen. and Aph.in this line and the next, clearly deserves the preference over the plur. of the vulg., as the tendency to substitute the plur. for dual is here, as elsewhere, reinforced by the tendency to abolish permissible hiatus. The form υἱέε does not recur elsewhere, but is of course implied in the declension “υἱέος”, etc., which is constantly found.
