[612] πεζόξ, because in N (240 ff.) we are not told that Meriones and Idomeneus are driving; though in N 326 this seems to be intimated. Meriones may have driven Idomeneus on to the field, and then left his chariot to his own “θεράπων” in order to fight himself. The long parenthesis 612-16 seems to have been added to meet this supposed difficulty. If it were omitted there would no longer be any difficulty in referring αὐτῶι (611) to Meriones.
