[53] γνωτός: in Ap. this word always means 'kinsman,' a meaning which we sometimes find in Hom., e.g. Il. 15. 350, γνωτοί τε γνωταί τε, 'brothers and sisters.' Homer also uses it in the sense of 'well-known,' 'clearly perceived.'
νισσομένοισι: the form νίσσομαι, for νες-j-ομαι (Curtius), or νι-νς-j-ομαι (Osthoff), is now generally accepted as correct; νείσσομαι, though defended by Eustathius on Od. 9. 58, is contrary to all analogy, as κρείσσων is the only example of σς after the diphthong ει, v. La Roche, Hom. Textkr. 317; Boeckh on Pind. O. 3. 10; Leaf on Il. 13. 186.This text is part of:
