[519] ἀμφίς, apart from their followers, ‘standing out ’ (Monro). ὑπ᾽ ὀλίζονες, the people were of smaller size at their feet; the vulg. “ὑπολίζονες”, ‘somewhat smaller,’ would be poetically inadmissible, and this force of “ὑπο”- in composition is not found in H. That it is a reading of great antiquity here is proved, however, by the occurrence of “ὑφήσσων” in the imitated Scut. Herc. 258.
