ὥς Περ ἐΠ᾽ οὔδει, “as (might be expected) on the floor”; i.e. there was no echo in the cave; cf. the common Attic use of “ὡς” in “οὐδὲ ἀδύνατος, ὡς Λακεδαιμόνιος, εἰπεῖν” Thuc.iv. 84, etc. This sense seems quite satisfactory, though there is neatness in Fick's “ὥς περ ἐπωδῇ” (B. B. xxii. 269).This text is part of:
