[708] Ὕληι with “υ^” also 7.221, but “υ_” in 2.500; “ζενοδ. Ὕδηι”, but the name of the Boeotian town was certainly Hyle; a Lydian “Ὕδη” is mentioned in 20.385. μεμηλώς with gen. only here and 13.297, 469. The use may be classed with those mentioned in H. G. § 151 c, d. So Aisch. Sept. 178 “μέλεσθέ θ᾽ ἱερῶν δημίων”. But the application of the verb to the person who feels the care, not to the thing which causes it, is rare; hence Nauck “μεμηώς” (= “μεμαώς”).
