[147] οὔτ᾽ οὖν κύματα. It is easy to alter “οὔτε” to “οὐδέ” on the ground that “οὔτε” is usually the correlative of another “οὔτε”. But the reading may well be retained on the ground that an οὔτε is implied, though not expressed, before νῆσον, i. e. “οὔτε νῆσον οὔτε κύματα”. So Od.11. 483“οὔ τις ἀνὴρ προπάροιθε μακάρτατος οὔτ᾽ ἄρ᾽ ὀπίσσω”, Il.22. 265“ὣς οὐκ ἔστ᾽ ἐμὲ καὶ σὲ φιλήμεναι, οὔτε τι νῶιν”

“ὅρκια ἔσσονται”.
