[358] ὀλέσειε, a proper opt., I wish he might lose. The ordinary phrase “θυμὸν ὀλέσσαι” is enlarged by “μένος”, apparently with a consciousness of its etymological connexion with “μαίνεται” in 355, which is again alluded to in the “μαίνεται” of 360. On the other hand, there can be no such allusion in 361 μενέων ἀπερωεύς.
