[277] ἐρύοντο, began to draw away. καὶ τοῦ is strange, and can hardly be right, though no variant is recorded; we should rather expect “καὶ τότ᾽”, now again; as before, when Menelaos left the body, the desertion is only momentary. The text is explained by joining “καί” with “Ἀχαιοί”, the Achaians in their turn; but the order of words is harsh.
