[547] ὑπ᾽ ὀφρύσι: 'subject to the haughty sway of.' Brunck tries to defend ἐπ᾽ by the idiom ἐπί τινι εἶναι 'to be in a person's power,' cf. 3. 713, but ὑπ᾽ seems more natural. ὀφρύς, supercilium, is often used in late Gr. for 'super-ciliousness,' e.g. Anth. P. 10. 122, καὶ σοῦ τὴν ὀφρὺν καὶ τὸν τῦφον καταπαύσει. For quite different uses of ὑπ᾽ ὀφρύσι v. 3. 371, 1024.
