[179] 179-80 are a very needless repetition of what has already been said several times. πρηνεῖς for “πρηνέες” is a form which does not occur again. Ar. athetized the couplet “ὅτι κατὰ τὴν Πατρόκλου ἀριστείαν τάξιν ἔχουσι, νῦν δὲ οὔ” (An.). 180 is in fact repeated in 16.699, but 179 does not appear elsewhere. Either Aristonikos or his epitomator must have made a mistake.
