τἀμὰ κἀκείνων=“τὰ ἐμὰ καὶ” (“τὰ”) “ἐκείνων”: cp. 588: Tr. 1068: Eur. El. 301 “τύχας βαρείας τὰς ἐμὰς κἀμοῦ πατρός”: Phoen. 474 “τοὐμόν τε καὶ τοῦδ̓”. Poetry tolerated such omission of the second art. even when the subjects were sharply opposed: El. 991: Aesch. Ag. 324 “καὶ τῶν ἁλόντων καὶ κρατησάντων”. Theseus cannot foresee any cause which should trouble the ancient amity between Athens and Thebes (619, 632).
