[232] κεφαλῇ depends upon περιεβάλετο only, ἐφύπερθε being purely adverbial, as in Il.14. 184κρηδέμνῳ δ᾽ ἐφύπερθε καλύψατο δῖα θεάων”.

καλύπτρην. This does not seem to be different in meaning from “κρήδεμνον”, except in so far that the same piece of stuff when tied round the head would be called “κρήδεμνον”, and when suffered to fall over the face as a veil, “καλύπτρη”. See Od.1. 334.
