[373] ἤρατο seems to be another case of the invasion of “α-” forms in the aor. (cf. on 262), on the analogy of “αἴρω”, which of course is a different word; so “ἠράμεθα22.393, “ἤρἀ”(“ο”) Od. 24.33. All other forms are thematic, “ἀρόμην ἀρέσθαι”, etc. (Cobet M. C. p. 400, van L. Ench. p. 373). Hence Brandreth rightly read “ἤρετο”. So also 14.510, 18.165, Od. 4.107, etc.
