[8] τάρ: an enclitic particle recognised by Herod. (and perhaps Ar.), from “τ᾽ ἄρ”, as “γάρ” from “γ᾽ ἄρ”. It does not of course make any perceptible difference here if we write “τ᾽ ἄρ” (with MSS. except A); but see 65, 93. The combination is a favourite in questions; 2.761, 3.226, 11.656, etc. ἔριδι goes with “ξυνέηκε”, ‘pitted them in strife.’ σφωε: according to the rule of Ar. this form belongs to the 3rd person. Zen. here and elsewhere read “σφῶϊ”, which Ar. confined to the 2nd person. It is, however, possible that the distinction is a mere fiction. Cf. Brugmann Gr. ii. p. 804, and App. A.
