[471] ἐπὶ … ὄροντο, commonly rendered ‘moved along them’ as they sat; the meaning being the same as that of “ἐπῴχετο” Od.1. 143.Others refer “ὄροντο” to root “ὀρ” or “ϝορ”, from which come “ὁράω” and “οὖρος” (supra 409), and render it ‘looked after them.’ See Curtius, Verb. 144, 544; Monro, H. G. § 30, 393. And this seems necessarily the meaning in “ἐπὶ δ᾽ ἀνέρες ἐσθλοὶ ὄρονται” Od.14. 104.
