[367] θεσπεσίηι, a substantivized adj., like many others in H.; “ἀμβροσίη ἀναγκαίη ἰθεῖα ἴση τραφερή ὑγρή”, and cases used as here adverbially, “ἀντιβίην ἀπριάτην” (see 1.99) “ἀμφαδίην” (Ameis Anh. to Od. 1.97). There is no need to supply any ellipse. ἀλαπάξεις: fut. in potential sense (cf. 6.71, 13.260), or perhaps as taking up with some slight irony Agamemnon's despairing tone, “οὐ γὰρ ἔτι Τροίην αἱρήσομεν εὐρυάγυιαν” 141. Bekker's conj. “ἀλαπάζεις” is needless.
