[70] καταδέρκεαι ἀκτίνεσσι: cf. Od. 11.16, where “καταδέρκεσθαι” (here intrans.) is more naturally constructed with an obj. acc. “καταδέρκεται” in M is a common scribe's error (e.g. Il. 10.82 “ ἔρχεαι ἔρχεται, 115 νεμεσήσεαι νεμεσήσεται”) assisted by the similar context in Od. 11.16, where the verb is in the third person. “ὄπωπεν” followed naturally.
