[357] γνῶ with gen., as Od. 21.36, Od. 23.109. This is common in the participle of “οἷδα” in the sense ‘to be skilled in,’ e.g. “μάχης, ἀλκῆς”, etc., but rare in the finite verb. 23.452 is possibly another case. See H. G. § 151 d. πάλιν λάζετο, just our idiom ‘took back his words.’ Cf. “πάλιν ἐρέει” = contradict, 9.56. The phrase recurs Od. 13.254 in a slightly different sense (took back what he was about to say).
