[4] ΤριτογενΗ῀: Barnes' “Τριτογενέα” is unnecessary in this hymn; so “τεύχη” 15 (but “τεύχἐ” 5); cf. xxvii. 4. The form “Τριτογενής” is not Homeric.

αὐτός: cf. Il. 5.880 ἐπεὶ αὐτὸς ἐγείναο παῖδ᾽ ἀΐδηλον” (the only reference in Homer to the birth of Athena); Theog. 924 “αὐτὸς δ᾽ ἐκ κεφαλῆς γλαυκώπιδα γείνατ᾽ Ἀθήνην”. Cf. h. Apoll. 314, 323.
