[339] From Il. 10. 485 foll. Here the simile has no apodosis, unless we are to extract one from the verb implied in v. 334: but the reference to Nisus is clear. ‘Turbans’ intransitive, 6. 800 note. Serv. says “perturbans ovilia: nam tmesis est.” The word may have been suggested by κλονέωσι, used (actively) in a like simile Il. 15. 324.
