[608] ἔσχεθε, see on 163. The question between aor. and imperf. here turns on whether we take σάκος as acc., he was holding his shield, or nom., the shield stopped it. There can be no doubt that the latter is preferable (cf. 12.184): the former does not need stating. “ἔσχεθε” is therefore aor. — unless we adopt the variant “ἔσχετο”. καυλῶι, see on 162.
