[117] ἐστ́ηκει, had begun, lit. ‘was on foot’; cf. Od. 14.162τοῦ μὲν φθίνοντος μηνὸς τοῦ δ᾽ ἱσταμένοιο,Od. 19.519ἔαρος νέον ἱσταμένοιο”. μείς for *“μήνς” through *“μένς”, a form found also in Herod., Hesiod, and Pindar; in the latter it may be Boiotian. “μής”, the reading of the “Χία”, looks like the older form (v. G. Meyer Gr. § 37).
