λόγον: “Saying.” βλάπτων: “Violating.” ἁλίοιο γέροντος: Old men of the sea are always preternaturally wise. See P. 3.92. Here Nereus is meant, whom Homer calls ἅλιον γέροντα (Il. 18. 141). κρυπτέτω: The word of Nereus is a light unto the path, and disobedience quenches it in silence. Cf. O. 2.107: κρύφον τε θέμεν ἐσλῶν καλοῖς ἔργοις, N. 9.7: μὴ χαμαὶ σιγᾷ καλύψαι. See also O. 7.92: μὴ κρύπτε κοινὸν | σπέρμ᾽ ἀπὸ Καλλιάνακτος.
