[626] Zen.'s reading “ἄχνη” is very weak. On ἄητη as against the vulg. “ἀήτης” An.remarks “ἀρσενικῶς δεινὸς ἄητη, ἀλλ᾽ οὐ δεινή, ὡς “κλυτὸς Ἱπποδάμεια”” (2.742, q. v.). “ἔνιοι δὲ ἀγνοοῦντες ποιοῦσι δεινὸς ἀήτης”. The other passages are neutral (14.254, Od. 4.567, Od. 9.139, unless we read “πνείοντας” for “πνείοντος” in “δ”, against the best authority). We may therefore be content to follow Ar. Ap. Rhod. however uses the form “ἀήτης” (i. 423) . The short syllable before “δ”（“ϝ”）“εινός” is very rare, but admits of no obvious correction. “ἀνέμου δέ” is probably forbidden by ‘Wernicke's law.’ Cf. “νότοιό τε δεινὰς ἀήτας” Hes. Opp. 675.
