[50] For ἥν τινα Ar. read “εἴ τινα”, even if I do know of one; no doubt in order to bring the line into harmony with I 410, where Achilles speaks of a prophetic warning from his mother. That passage, however, must be regarded as much later than the present. And in any case ‘Achilles does not necessarily mean that Thetis has told him nothing: he only denies that anything she may have told him is the reason of his refusing to fight’ (Monro).
