[644] As has been remarked in the note on 268 it is needless to suppose that the ἄηρ here mentioned is a supernatural phenomenon, or indeed anything more than the thick cloud of dust stirred up by the combatants. In 649 it seems to be identical with “ὀμίχλη”, which is used of a dust-cloud in 13.336. So also in 368 above. “κατέχονται, ἐν ἄλλωι κεκάλυπται”, But A. the Schema Pindaricum is never used with animated subjects; see note on 387.
