[427] ἀκ́ηδεσεν, a curious form; it seems to imply a present *“ἀκηδέσ-jω” from the stem “ἀκηδες” of “ἀκηδής”. This would form an aor. “ἀκηδέσ-σαι”, with the usual power of dropping one “ς” (H. G. § 39). Compare “ἀκηδέστως”. The only other instance of the verb in H. is 23.70 “ἀκήδεις” (“ἀκήδεες”), imperf. Hence Nauck reads “ἀκήδεεν” here.
