[491] “τὸ ὅτοισι τρισύλλαβον ἐπὶ τὴν πρώτην ἔχει συλλαβὴν τὴν ὀξεῖαν, τὸ μέντοι ὁτέοισιν οὐκέτι” This Herod. probably shews that there was an old variant ὅτοισιν instead of “ὁτέοισιν” which is given by the MSS. The shorter form is to be preferred, as avoiding the synizesis, and on the analogy of “ὅτωι”, for which see note on 664. The use of “ν ἐφελκ”. to make position in the second thesis is very unusual; cf. on 197. For κῦδος ὑπέρτερον see note on 11.290.
