[195] Ar. read “οὔτε” for οὐδέ, and therefore must have done the same in the preceding line; Zen. omitted 195 altogether, and therefore must have had “οὐδέ” in 194. There can be no doubt as to the superior force of οὐδέ, and it is not clear why Ar. did not admit it. His objection to Zen.'s athetesis — that in H. Okeanos not Acheloos, is the parent of rivers — i<*> quite sufficient to save one of the most majestic lines ever written.
