Where correspondence is indicated by

⎛ 4
⎝ 4.

It makes no difference that ⏗ is answered by –⏑ in the second foot.

(ii) To the stichic corresponds the palinodic period (παλινῳδία, “repetition”), in which not a single colon but a group of cola is repeated so far as length is concerned:—

μείξουσιν ἢ πρὸς Πυθίαις ἢ λαμπάσιν ἀκταῖς,

οὗ πότνιαι σεμνὰ τιθηνοῦνται τέλη (Œd. Col., 1047 sq.).
