τάν: Sc. Ἡσυχίαν. Πορφυρίων: Porphyrion, the βασιλεὺς Γιγάντων mentioned below, attempted to hurl Delos heavenward, and was shot by Apollo, who is, among other things, the god of social order. If there is any special political allusion, this would seem to refer to parties within rather than enemies without. μάθεν = ἔγνω, Schol. πάθεν and λάθεν are unnecessary conjectures.
