[206] 206 is apparently inserted in order to supply an object to “δῶκε”, which does not need one (see on 1.295), and is clumsily altered from 9.99, apparently at a time when the sense of metre was dying out. It is, however, as old as the age of Trajan, for Chrysostom Dio (Or. i. p. 3） knows it. It is hardly worth while to discuss the reference of “σφισι”, which may have been supposed = “ὑμῖν”, or simply transferred from 9.99 without further consideration. If the line is to be corrected, Chrysostom Dio's “βουλεύηισι” is better than Barnes's “ἐμβασιλεύηι”.
