[324] used of the 1st person is an extension of the adversative use of the article with connecting particles (H. G. § 257. 1), facilitated by A. having just spoken of himself virtually in the 3rd person. Cf. Od. 1.359μελήσει πᾶσι, μάλιστα δ᾽ ἐμο<*>ί τοῦ γὰρ κράτος ἔστ᾽ ἐνὶ οἴκωι”, and similarly Od. 11.352. But the phrase is undeniably harsh.
