[306] 306 = 15.328. In 307 the full stop is usually placed after ἡγεμόνων, but the punctuation of the text is suggested by Nikanor （“αὐτίκ᾽ ἄρα: τοῦτο καὶ ἀπ᾽ ἄλλης ἀρχῆς δύναται λέγεσθαι, ἵνα στίζωμεν ἐπὶ τὸ υἱός”), and is supported by the use of “αὐτίκ᾽ ἄρα”, which regularly begins the clause — generally an apodosis after “ἐπεί” or “ὅτε”; but in Od. 4.220 it is used exactly as here, after an independent sentence beginning with “ἔνθα”. Note the variant “αὐτίκα δ᾽ ἄρ”.
