[30] For γάρ some MSS. have “γάρ ῥ᾽”, but the additional particle is not needed. See on 4.467. It is clear from the context that ν̂ηες means their ships, i.e. those of Diomedes, Odysseus, and Agamemnon, as opposed to the rest of the fleet. εἰρύατο with “υ_” as in 75, but the regular “υ^” is found in 4.248 and elsewhere (from “ϝε-ϝρύ-ατο”). The “υ_” is probably due to the analogy of other forms where it is followed by a consonant, “εἴρυ_το, εἰρυ_μέναι” (13.682), etc. Schulze Q. E. p. 318.
