[217] This line has all the appearance of a gloss on the word ὀαριστύς, but there is no record that any of the ancient critics condemned it. The use of the two words in apposition may be supported, however, by “γαλήνη . . νηνεμίη,” Od. 5.392, and perhaps “μόσχοισι λύγοισιν,” 11.105 (q.v.). ἔκλεψε, deceives, see on 1.132. For the sentiment cf. Od. 15.421-22. The last half of the line is found also in 9.554.
