[263] νῦν δ᾽ “but as it is,” with aor. equivalent to a perf., as Soph. OC 84, 371. Cp. below 948 καὶ νῦν ὅδε ι πρὸς τῆς τύχης ὄλωλε. So with historic pres., Lys. 12.36 “εἰ μὲν οὖν ἐν τῷ δικαστηρίῳ ἐκρίνοντο, ῥᾳδίως ἂν ἐσώζοντο: ... νῦν δ᾽ εἰς τὴν βουλὴν εἰσάγουσιν.”
ἐνήλατο i.e. he was cut off by a timeless fate, leaving no issue, cp. 1300: Soph. Ant. 1345 “ἐπὶ κρατί μοι ι πότμος ... εἰσήλατο”: so the Erinyes say, “μάλα γὰρ οὖν ἁλομένα ι ἀνέκαθεν βαπυρεσῆ ι καταφέπω ροδὸς ἀκμάν” Aesch. Eum. 369, Aesch. Ag. 1175 “δαίμων ὑπερβαρὴς ἐμπίτνων”: Aesch. Pers. 515 “ὦ δυσπόνητε δαῖμον, ὡς ἄγαν βαρὺς ι ποδοῖν ἐνήλλου παντὶ Περσικῷ γένει.” The classical constr. with ἐνάλλομαι, as with ἐνθρώσκω and ἐμπηδάω, is usually the dat., though εἰς with accus. occurs in later Greek; a point urged by Deventer in his objections to this verse, which is, however, clearly sound.This text is part of:
