[137] There is some doubt as to the punctuation here, some putting a colon after “ἕλωμαι”, but this makes the repetition of the participles “ἰὼν .. ἑλών” very awkward. That given in the text is unobjectionable. 139 was rejected by Ar. as superfluous and “εὔηθες”. This athetesis is accepted by those who would banish “κε” with the fut. ind. from the text of Homer; but the grounds given by Ar. are not convincing, and the omission of the line would damage the effect.
