[188] κουρίξ ‘by the hair.’

197f. The irony of the speech is continued: ‘the coming of dawn will not fail to call you (from that soft bed), at the time when you fetch the goats’: an allusion, in the spirit of parody, to Il.24. 12-13 “οὐδέ μιν ἠὼς φαινομένη λήθεσκεν ὑπεὶρ ἅλα τ᾽ ἠϊόνας τε”. Possibly we should read ἀγίνεις, impf. as “ῥέζεσκον” (209). The word “ἡνίκα” is not found elsewhere in Homer (Sittl, op. cit. p. 53).
