[332] “ἀτέοντα, ἀφροντιστοῦντα: Καλλίμαχος “Μουσέων κεινὸς ἀνὴρ ἀτέει”” Sch. The A. word recurs in Herod.vii. 223 where it duly represents the normal “ἀτᾶν” (cf. “ὁρέω”), but in Homer it can hardly be right. It is presumably --u with synizesis. But we should perhaps accept the variant “χατέοντα”, joining it with “θεῶν”, lacking the aid of the gods; cf. g 48 “πάντες δὲ θεῶν χατέουσ᾽ ἄνθρωποι” .
