[275] The scansion of οἷος as uu recurs in 18.105, Od. 7.312, Od. 20.89; cf. “ἔμπαιος” as a dactyl, Od. 20.379, and note on 9.408 (H. G. § 384, van L. Ench. § 17). λέγεσθαι, to tell over, talk about, as 292, 2.435. In the next line it is of course passive, ‘if we were being told off. ’ The apodosis to 276 is postponed till 287 by the unusually long parenthesis, 279-86.
