[2] ἑόν, 'your.' The possessive pronouns become utterly confounded in late Greek: ἑός = tuus here and xxiv. 36; xxii. 173; Quint. Smyrn. vii. 294 = suus (plural), Quint. Smyrn. ii. 264 (Theocr. xxvii. 26) = noster, Ap. Rhod. iv. 203. There are possibly traces of this in Homer; Iliad xiv. 221 σῇσι: MS. D has ᾗσι. So εἷο = mei, Ap. Rhod. ii. 635; ἑοῖ αὐτῇ = mihi ipsi, Ap. Rhod. iii. 99: σφίσι = nobis, Id. ii. 1278; σφέτερος = tuus, Theocr. xxii. 67 = meus, xxv. 162 = suus (singular), Bacchyl. iii. 36 and often (not in Homer): ὅς = tuus, Callim. iii. 103 = meus (Mosch.) Megara 77 etc. Cf. Monro, Hom. Gram. § 255.

δύνᾳ for δύνασαι, cf. Soph. Philoct. 798, etc.; ἐπίστᾳ, Pind. Cf. Rutherford, N. Phryn. p. 463.

ὄγμον, 'swathe'; cf. Iliad xi. 68: “ οἱ δ᾽ ὡς ἀμητῆρες ἐναντίοι ἀλλήλοισι
ὄγμον ἐλαύνωσιν ἀνδρὸς μάκαρος κατ᾽ ἄρουραν
πυρῶν κριθέων: τὰ δὲ δράγματα ταρφέα πίπτει.

” Cf. Odyss. xviii. 366 sqq.
