[472]

[474] ἀτυζομένην ἀπολέσθαι § 212) ‘dazed unto death,’ i. e. so that she was like one dead.

[477] ἰῇ ... αἴσῃ, ‘for one and the same portion,’ or ‘doom.’

[484] νήπιος αὔτως, cf. Z 400.

[487] φύγῃ, ‘survives’; subject, the child Astyanax.

[488] τοι, remote dative of the person interested, ‘you know he will always have toil and distress hereafter.’

[489] ἀπουρήσουσιν, § 63.3.

[491] πάντα, ‘completely,’ adverbial.

[493] ‘Pulling one by the cloak, and another by the tunic.’

494, 495. ‘And among them, when they are touched with pity, one puts a cup to his [i. e. the boy's] lips for a little time, and moistens his lips, to be sure, but does not moisten his palate.’ For meaning of “ἐπέσχεν” cf. l. 83 of this book and I 489; for the tense see § 184.

[498] οὕτως, for meaning cf. 18.392, “ὧδε”.

[500] With this line the description of the orphaned boy returns to Astyanax. From l. 487 to l. 499 the description has been of a general character, and is certainly inapplicable to any probable situation of Priam's grandson Astyanax, even if he should lose his father. Aristarchus was for removing these lines altogether.

[505] ἂν ... πάθῃσι, ‘he shall suffer,’ § 192.

506, 507. See note on Z 402, 403.

[513] ὄφελος, for construction cf. “πῆμα, Γ” 50.

[514] εἶναι, ‘that they may be.’
