[526] τέκμωρ: see note on 7.30. ἐμόν, anything of mine (or possibly any “τέκμωρ” of mine). This use is, however, very strange; “ἐμοί” would seem more natural. παλινάγρετον, from “ἀγρέω”, which is said to be the Aiolic form of “αἱρέω”. But it occurs in Aisch. Ag. (lyric), Archilochos and Theognis, as well as in Sappho and Aiolic inscriptions. (The identity of the two words is very doubtful. Smyth's attempt to prove it, A.J.P. vii. 382, takes no account of “ἄγρα”.) For the use of ‘take back’ = revoke compare 4.357 “πάλιν δ᾽ ὅ γε λάζετο μῦθον”.
