καὶ δὴ: O. C.31 n. χὡ λόγος σημαινέτω. Blaydes writes “ὅ τι λέγεις σήμαινέ μοι”: Nauck too (cr. n.) thinks the text corrupt, chiefly because “σός” is absent. But cp. Eur. Hipp.341 f. “ΦΑ. τρίτη δ᾽ ἐγὼ δύστηνος ὡς ἀπόλλυμαι”. | “ΤΡ. ἔκ τοι πέπληγμαι: ποῖ προβήσεται λόγος”; For the verb, cp. 598 “σήμαινε”. Apitz cites Plat. Gorg. 511 B “ὡς ὁ λόγος σημαίνει”: but the sense there is different (‘as our argument indicates’).
