[455] For ἐπεί Ar. read “ἔμ᾽, εἴ”, which has the advantage of giving the required antithesis between “σοί γε” and “ἐμέ”, but involves either the intolerable repetition of “με”, or Spitzner's conj. “κτεριοῦσί γε”, where the “γε” is absolutely otiose. All that is required is to read “κτεριοῦσ᾽ ἐμέ”, (or rather “κτερίσουσ᾽ ἐμέ”? But cf. “ἀεικιῶ, κομιῶ”). ἐπεί κε is obviously more suitable than “εἴ κε”.
