[500] πιφαύξκων, making declaration, probably by speech according to the regular use of the word. It is however thrice used of making manifest to the sight, 12.280 “πιφαυσκόμενος τὰ ἃ κῆλα,” 21.333 “πιφαύσκεο δὲ φλόγα πολλήν,” 15.97 “οἷα Ζεὺς ἔργα πιφαύσκεται”. It is therefore possible to take “πάντα” as the object, displaying the full price which the slayer claims to pay (App. I, § 25). μηδέν, only here in H. (H. G. § 356). If the mere denial of a fact were in question we ought to have “οὐδέν”: the “μή” implies that will is concerned (H. G. § 361, M. and T. § 685).
