Possibly avpTTa&rai may be right, though not found elsewhere, as equivalent to o7raerat, where the initial 6 has been already supposed by some (see Lidd. and Scott) to be a&pouTTiKov. ip.iraop.ai seems to be another compound of the same verb.

There seems no occasion for any change, except perhaps of rj^ei into rjgeis. rJKco can take a genitive of the point arrived at, like c<piKveofiai, irpoo-iKveop.a.1, as appears from Hdt. vn. 157, quoted by Lidd. and Scott.

Rett's kok tSv SeV av$is, v. 5, is certainly true, and Heath's es XtXi'- oZtos els, v. 6, not improbable ; in other respects not much has been done for the verses by the critics whose corrections Wagner records. V. 3 is apparently out of its place, but that place does not seem to have been after v. 8, as rdgeis coupled with ravras evidently refers to the divisions of the army, an inven- tion attributed to Palamedes by iEsch. Palam. fr. 1 (173). The simplest course would be to reverse the order of vv. 2, 3 : but it seems better to place v. 3 after v. 6, so as to gain a substantive agreeing with defteiypeva, the sense plainly being ' he made them
