[510] πεφοβημένος, in full flight, in accordance with the usual Homeric use of the word. The second μή (511) implies fear, and is not so closely connected with νόστου μνῆσαι as the first μή, which is virtually final. Cf. A 26-8, H. G. 278 (b). The distinction is, however, only one of the closeness of the connexion of thought; the two uses are originally identical. In any case Naber's conj. ἤν που (cf. Ar.'s reading in Od. 19.83) is inadmissible.
