[351] Παύσειεν is no doubt genuine although the act. for the middle “παύσαιτο” is remarkable. Compare, however, Hes. Sc.449“παῦε μάχης”. In Od. 4.659 there is overwhelming MS. support for “μνηστῆρες . . . παῦσαν ἀέθλων”, where most editors read “μνηστῆρας”. So Ran. 580 “παῦε παῦε τοῦ λόγου”. Tyrrell considers the use to be a mark of lateness (p. 39).
