[50] ἀξέμεναι, aor. as usual. For ὅσσ᾽ nearly all MSS. give “ὡς”. This is probably merely a reminiscence of the phrase “ὡς ἐπιεικές” which so often ends a line, e.g. 537. If an independent reading it would require the omission of the next line, which is needless enough; but even then “ὅσσα” would be better. In favour of leaving out 51 is the use of νέεσθαι = go simply; see on 21.48.
