[141] The line is ejected by Matthiae and others. Gemoll considers it inconsistent with 99, 100, but genuine if 97, 98 are an interpolation. There seems to be no serious difficulty (see on 97 f.). ΠανΝύχιος: all the rest of the night; Gemoll compares “πανημέριος” in Il. 1.472; add Od. 2.434 “ παννυχίη” and Il. 18.453 “ πᾶν ἦμαρ”. M's “παννύχιον” is less idiomatic, but could stand adverbially.
ἐΠέλαμπε: cf. Il. 17.650; but it is an open question whether “κατέλαμπε” (M) should not be preferred, as although not Homeric it is a very suitable word; see L. and 144=Od. 9.521, h. Aphr. 35; cf. Il. 1.339.This text is part of:
