[499] ἤειρεν: cf. 15.680 “πίσυρας συναείρεται ἵππους” (see note), and the forms “συνήορος” Od. 8.99, “τετράοροι” Od. 13.81, “παρήορος, ξυνωρίς”, etc., which prove the existence of “ἀείρω” = bind, harness, though it is probably distinct from “ἀείρω”, raise. See van L. Ench. p. 488. Schulze suggests that the two may be identical, harnessing being regarded as hanging the horses to the chariot (Q. E. p. 420).
