[179] ἄλλο … πρίν γ᾽ ὅτε. After “ἄλλο” we should expect “εἰ μὴ ὁ θάνατος”, but the sentence runs as if “οὐδὲν ἄλλο” had been written. φιλέοντε = ‘entertaining each other.’ Such a reciprocal sense of the active may be compared with Arist. Eth. Nic. 10. 4. 10 “οἱ ἐμβλέποντες”, ‘people trying to stare each other out of countenance.’ With the reciprocal middle “τερπομένω” compare Od.2. 153, “δρυψαμένω”.
