Epode 1

ἵπποις ἡμιόνοις τε μοναμπυκίᾳ τε: The various games in which he strove to honor (ἐγέραιρε) the city. He succeeded only in the mule-race (ἀπήνη). The controversy about this passage is endless.

μοναμπυκίᾳ: “And with the riding of single horse.” The μονάμπυξ was a κέλης. “Sole-frontleted” for “single,” like οἰόζωνος ἀνήρ. See commentators on So. O. C. 718: “τῶν ἑκατομπόδων Νηρῄδων ἀκόλουθος” .
