[227] See note on 211. ὑπόειξε takes the acc. χεῖρας by a sort of construction ad sensum, as though it had been “ἔφυγε” or the like. But the way in which 228 is added is most awkward. Heyne suspected it as a rhapsodi pannus; the only question is whether a like suspicion should not be extended to 227, which has all the air of a tag meant to supply the needless “ἔπλετο” to 226, and padded out from 211, regardless of the sense of “νεμεσσηθείς”, which is here unsuitable to its context.
