ὁμορροθεῖ, concurs, consents: fr. 446 “ὁμορροθῶ, συνθέλω, ι συμπαραινέσας ἔχω”. Schol. ad Aristoph. Av. 851 “ὁμορροθεῖν δὲ κυρίως τὸ ἅμα καὶ συμφώνως ἐρέσσειν”. So Orphic Argonaut. 254 “ὁμορροθέοντες”, ‘rowing all together’ (cp. above on 259). The image thus agrees with “ξύμπλουν” in 541. Ismene remembers her sister's words: ‘even if you should change your mind, I could never welcome you now as my fellow-worker’ (69). She says, then, ‘I consider myself as having shared in the deed—if my sister will allow me.’ Nauck sadly defaces the passage by his rash change, “εἴπερ ἥδ᾽: ὁμορροθῶ”.
