[515] M's reading “ἅμα κλέψῃς” is usually accepted. But “ἀνακλέψῃς”, a more significant word, seems guaranteed by a Dodonean inscription in Collitz ii. 2, no. 1586 p. 12. 4 “ἀνεκ[λεψεν”], where Hoffmann cites this passage; cf. also Hesych. “ἀνακλέπτεσθαι: ἀναχωρεῖν”. An actual theft of the “τόξα” is recorded by Horace ( Od.i. 10. 10), who may have followed Alcaeus in this particular, and by Lucian (Dial. Deor. vii. 1).
