[1526] οὖ τίς οὐ ζήλῳ ... ταῖς τύχαις ἐπέβλ., “on whose fortunes what citizen did not look with emulous admiration?” （Cp. Xen. Hiero 1.10 “πῶς δὲ πάντες ἐζήλουν ἂν τοὺς τυράννους;”） To me it appears certain that we should here read the interrogative τίς, with ἐπέβλεπεν instead of ἐπιβλέπων. Cp. Soph. OC 1133 “ᾦ τίς οὐκ ἔνι ι κηλὶς κακῶν ξύνοικος;” 871 ὅπου τίς ὄρνις οὐχὶ κλαγγάνει; Soph. El. 169 ff. “τί ... οὐκ ... ι ... ἀγγελίας”: Eur. Phoen. 878 “ἁγὼ τί δρκων οὐ, ποῖα δ᾽ οὐ λέγων ἔπη, ι εἰς ἔχθος ἦλθον.” Dem. 18.48 “ἐλαυνομένων καὶ ὑβριζομένων καὶ τί κακὸν οὐχὶ πασχόντων πᾶσα ἡ οἰκουμένη μεστὴ γέγονεν.” Then the καί of the MSS. should probably be ταῖς: though it is possible （as Whitelaw proposes） to take ζήλῳ καὶ τύχαις as “his glory and his fortunes”: cp. Soph. Aj. 503 “οἵας λατρείας ἀνθ᾽ ὅσου ζήλου τρέφει.” I doubt, however, whether ἐπέβλεπεν, without ζήλῳ, could mean “admired.” On the usage of the verb ἐπιβλέπω, see Appendix.
