[219] ἀριζ́ηλη, see on 2.318. “ ἴαχε ”, aorist, the imperf. not being admissible in a simile. The only forms of this verb found in H. are “ἴαχε, ἴαχον”, and the participle, “ἰάχων”, etc. The verb is thus probably always an aor. except in the part., which is = “ϝιϝάχων”, and lengthens a preceding short syllable, whereas “ἴαχε” and “ἴαχον” never (except in 4.506 = 17.317) shew “Ϝ” but elide a short syllable. Hence the probability of Schulze's proposal to write “ϝάχε, ϝάχον” as aor. (here “τε ϝάχε”). See note on B 316, and H. G. § 31. 1. The trumpet is mentioned again only in a metaphor in 21.388. “ὅτι αὐτὸς οἶδε σάλπιγγας, χρωμένους δὲ τοὺς ἥρωας οὐκ εἰσάγει”, Compare An.the similar remarks on 15.679, 21.362.
