[53] 53-77. The borrowed lines in this passage are 58-9 = 2.809-10; 60-5 = 4.446-51; 66-7 = 11.84-5 (66 = Od. 9.56, 67 = 15.319, 16.778); 68 = 16.777; 69-70 = 22.209-10; 71 = 3.127; 72 cf. 22.212. Only 53-7 and 73-7 are original.

The δεῖπνον is here, as in 2.381, 19.171, in anticipation of a long day's fighting, taken before the start from the camp. It is properly the mid-day meal, see 11.86, and only in later times took the place of “δόρπον”, supper.
