[260] δ᾽ seems here to stand for “δή” rather than “δέ”; cf. H. G. § 350 and note on 1.340. But it is a question if we should not rather read “γ᾽”: the particle would be quite in place. καὶ . . καί are found again in correspondence only in 636 and 24.641 in H. The meaning evidently is ‘not only one,’ as you say (“τι”, 256), ‘but twenty.’ For εἴκοσι as a hyperbolical expression for a large number cf. 22.349, Od. 12.78, Od. 9.241.
