[251] προφέροις, cast in their teeth, as 3.64. νόστον φυλάσσοις, be on the watch for departure. The next two lines refer to this; but they hardly seem in place here, and would come more suitably after 298. Lehrs would put 250-1 after 264. Ar. rejected 252-6. The repeated “τῶ” (250, 254) has all the appearance of a double version, such as we should expect if the speech has been displaced as suggested in the Introduction. If any lines are to be rejected, 250-3 should go.
