Zen., who omitted the last line of H, placed this after 52. The council of the gods is thus put a day earlier, and so brought into closer connexion with the omens of 7.478, but Zeus is made to take an all-night journey to Ida in 41-52. The whole introductory passage 1-52 may be a later insertion, and the reading of Zen. may indicate a variation in the place assigned to it.

The following lines are borrowed in 1-52, occasionally with small variations: 1 = 24.695; 3 = 1.499; 5-6 = 19.101-2; 10 cf. 1.549, 2.391, 15.348; 11 = 13.9; 28 = 3.95; 28-9 = 9.693-4; 30-1 = Od. 1.44-5; (33-7 recur 464-8); 38-40 = 22.182-4 (with 4.356); 41-4 = 13.23-6; 45 = 5.366; 46 = 5.769; 47 = 14.283 (Hymn. Ven. 68); 48 cf. Od. 8.363; 50-1 cf. 5.775-6; 51-2 cf. 11.81-2. Cf. also notes on 12 and 39 for other echoes.
