[290] Cf. Od. 22.372, 10.44. From the latter Bekker would read “ἠδὲ σάωσεν”, in order to put the hiatus into the bucolic diaeresis, where it is admissible. Were not the whole passage suspect it would be tempting to read “καί Ϝ᾽ ἐσάωσεν” with Brandreth, regarding “Ἕκτορα” as a gloss added to explain the object, after the pronoun “Ϝε” had disappeared, and the rest of 291 as a mere stop-gap to make up a line.
