[322] The comma after θώρηκα is approved by Nikanor, and is undoubtedly right; the two participles need a conjunction, as they are obviously co-ordinate, 21.204 being an isolated and harsh exception. It is not necessary to do more than mention the curious variant “τόξα φόωντα” which is found in D and explained by Schol. T to mean making bright. But the line has all the appearance of an addition designed to bring in mention of the “θώρηξ”: the passage reads better without it.
