[834] ἴσκεν: ἀντὶ τοῦ ἔλεγεν, κακῶς. Ὄμηρος ἀντὶ τοῦ ὡμοίου. Schol. There is no doubt that the meaning here is 'spake' ( = σι-σεκ-ε, in-sec-e, sagen, say), cf. 2. 240, 3. 439, Lyc. 574. It is a disputed point whether this meaning is to be assigned to two passages in Homer, Od. 19. 203, and 22. 31 (where see Monro and Ameis). Buttm. rejects ἴσκεν = ἔλεγεν and would read ἴσπεν. With the exception of these two passages, ἴσκω in Hom. always stands for ἐίσκω.
ἀμαλδύνουσα: ἀφανίζουσα καὶ τῷ πλασματι κρύπτουσα. Schol., 'glossing over' 'effacing,' literally 'weakening' (ἀμαλός); cf. 4. 112, Il. 12. 18, τεῖχος ἀμαλδῦναι ποταμῶν μένος εἰσαγαγόντες.This text is part of:
