[486] σοῖο, not “σεῖο”, for the gen. is not used as a mere possessive; “σεῖο φονῆος” 18.335 is of course another matter. But “ἑοῖο”, thine own, is a very probable variant, and it may be questioned if this was not Zen.'s reading rather than “σεῖο”. There may easily have been a mistake in interpreting “σοῖο: Ζηνόδοτος διὰ τοῦ ε”, which would be the Didymean scholion. But the ordinary interpretation is confirmed by Zen.'s “ἐμεῖο” for “ἐμοῖο” 14.118 and de Pron. 108. 12 (see Ludwich ad loc.).
