[543] For Πατρόκλωι, Döderlein conj. “Πατρόκλου”, which is very likely right; as the text stands the spear must be the spear of Ares in a purely metaphorical sense, like the scourge of Zeus (12.37), unless indeed we can regard “Πατρόκλωι . . ἔγχεϊ” as in apposition by a sort of ‘whole and part’ figure. This however is not natural.
