[3] But Lenting prefers Αχαιους, with the approbation of the Cambridge editor.
[4] See Reiske apud Dindorf. Compare my note on Æsch. Ag. 188, p. 101, ed. Bohn. So also Callimachus, Hymn. iii. μειλιον απλοϊης, ‛οτε ‛οι κατεδησας αητας.
[5] Sinon made the same complaint. Cf. Virg. Æn. ii. 90.
[6] Cf. Æsch. Ag. 235.
[7] This whole passage has been imitated by Ovid, de Ponto, iii. 2, 60. "Sceptra tenente illo, liquidas fecisse per auras, Nescio quam dicunt Iphigenian iter. Quam levibus ventis sub nube per aera vectam Creditur his Phœbe deposuisse locis." Cf. Lycophron, p. 16, vs. 3 sqq. Nonnus xiii. p. 332, 14 sqq.
[8] Observe the double construction of ανασσει. Orest. 1690. ναυταις μεδεουσα θαλασσης.
[9] The Cambridge editor would expunge this line, which certainly seems languid and awkward. Boissonade on Aristænet. Ep. xiii. p. 421, would simply read τα δ' αλλα ς. τ. θ. φοβουμενη: θυω γαρ. He also retains ‛ιερειαν, referring to Gaisford on Hephæst. p. 216.
[10] The Cambridge editor would throw out vs. 41.
[11] The Cambridge editor refers to Med. 56, Androm. 91, Soph. El. 425. Add Plaut. Merc. i. 1, 3. "Non ego idem facio, ut alios in comœdiis vidi facere amatores, qui aut nocti, aut die, Aut Soli, aut Lunæ miserias narrant suas." Theognetus apud Athen. xv. p. 671. Casaub. πεφιλοσοφηκας γηι και ουρανωι λαλων. Cf. Davis, on Cicero, Tusc. Q. iii. 26, and Lomeier de Lustrat. § xxxvii.
[12] Θριγκον is properly the uppermost part of the walls of any building (Pollux, vii. 27) surrounding the roof, στεγος is the roof itself.
