[198] τόδε γε. Adopting the reading of Aristarchus (see crit. note) we may suppose τόδε to refer back to “σῆμα”, or, more likely, to be a neuter, referring generally to “λίθον” or “δίσκον” or whatever was thrown. So “νεφέλη δέ μιν ἀμφιβεβήκει . . τὸ μὲν οὔ ποτ̓ ἐρωεῖ” Od.12. 75.If “τόν γ̓” or “τόνδ᾽” be read, the reference to “λίθον” or “δίσκον” is of course clear.

ὑπερήσει, ‘throw beyond it.’
