[515] ἐν is better than “ἐνί” of most MSS., as the shortening of “ἤ” (“ἠϝέ”) is always doubtful; see on 21.576. For πάντοσε where we should have expected “πάντοθεν” see notes on 4.455, 11.21; Zen. read “πάντ᾽ ἐσακούειν”, i.e. “παντί” (Schol. B). ἀκούειν with dat. of the person whose prayer is heard, see 531 below, and 24.335. It is precisely analogous to “κλῦθί μοι” 5.115, where see note, and cf. H. G. § 143. 3. The dat. as compared with the gen. gives the idea of hearing with favour.
