[281] ἅμα τε: the position of “τέ” is free, cf. “Α 417, Ι” 519; it seems to be intended here to unite the two verbs, and properly has its place after the first of the ideas which it connects. It is the more remarkable here since a combination with “τε καί” follows.— “οἱ πρῶτοι κτλ”.: i.e. the most remote as well as the nearest.
