[42] ἔδοιεν is the reading of Ar. only, MSS. all giving “ἔδονται”. That the opt. is not necessitated by the sense is seen from 3.54, 11.386, q.v. But it is evidently better, both as followed by “κε . . ἔλθοι”, and because Priam certainly does not mean to express any confident hope that the dogs will soon eat Achilles. For the use of “κεν” and “ἄν” with the fut. indic. see on 66 below.

The Iliad, edited, with apparatus criticus, prolegomena, notes, and appendices. Walter Leaf. London. Macmillan. 1900.
