[626] This line was probably omitted by Ar. (as by the first hand of the pap.) as interpolated from 1.286, thus avoiding the awkward repetition “τέκος . . φίλος”. The scholia do not say this explicitly, nor is the line marked, as we should expect, with ‘asterisk and obelos.’ But it is clearly implied, as Cobet has shewn (M. C. 318), by the words of Aristonikos on 327 (“ἡ διπλῆ”) “ὅτι ἀπὸ τοῦ γάρ ἦρκται, τὸ αἰτιατικὸν” (the causal particle) “προτάξας”. The γάρ does not, however, as usual anticipate a reason to be given, but rather continues Achilles' speech, yes, as thou sayest.
