[36] For fut. indic. with “μέμονα” see also 2.544, 12.198, 200, 218, 14.89, 15.105, 21.482, Od. 15.522, Od. 24.395; with “μενεαίνειν” 21.176, “ἐφορμᾶσθαι” Od. 21.399. The constr. seems to depend on the idea of hope conveyed by the verb. In several cases, however, the aor. or pres. infin., the more usual constr., occurs as a variant, and van L. would restore it everywhere. Here it is easy to write “καταπαυέμεν”. So in 29, which is the line referred to here, Mulvany (C. R. x. 27) would write “παύωμεν”, as the “ω” does not belong to the aor. subj. For the frequent confusion of pres., aor., and fut. infin. see note on 3.28, H. G. § 238.
