[194] δῶρα ἐμ̂ης looks like a false archaism on the model of “χεῖρα ἑήν” 9.420, which is capable of explanation (App. D, C 2). There are various emendations, some of them ancient; “δῶρά τ᾽” (Heyne) is possible, and evidently better than “δῶρα δ᾽” of Syr.^{2}, etc.; Strabo (“χ”. 467) has “δῶρα θοῆς”, Peppmüller “δῶρ᾽ ἀμῆς”, Nauck “ἡμετέρης”, Agar “δῶρ᾽ ἔμ᾽ ἐμῆς”. ἐνεικέμεν, the only form of this aor. in H. which is not from the -“α” stem (“ἐνεῖκαι” 18.334,Od. 18.286). “ἐνεγκέμεν” has good support here, but neither “ἤνεγκον” nor “ἤνεγκα” is found in H. (except as a variant on Od. 22.493), though Pindar uses both stems indifferently (Schröder P.L.G. ^{5} “Ρ”. 40; and see the mass of authorities in Veitch, pp. 591 ff.).
