σὲ δὴ: the abrupt acc., roughly calling the attention of the person addressed, is sometimes used even without a governing verb, as in Ant. 441“σὲ δή, σὲ τὴν νεύουσαν ἐς πέδον κάρα”, | “φής, κ.τ.λ.” τὰ δεινὰ ῥήματ᾽, ‘those terrible words’: 312 n. ἀνοιμωκτὶ, impune, like “ἀκλαύστῳ” in El. 912.Cp. Ar. Ran. 178“οὐκ οἰμώξεται;” The adverb ends in ι, not ει, as presupposing an adj. in “-ος”: for these adverbial forms, see n. on O.C. 1251 “ἀστακτί.” χανεῖν ῥήματα, like Aesch. Ag. 920“βόαμα προσχάνῃς”: Vesp. 341 “τοῦτ᾽ ἐτόλμησ᾽ ὁ μιαρὸς χανεῖν;” Attius Armorum Iudicium fr. 11 Hem, vereor plus quam fas est captivum hiscere.
