[48] It is most natural to suppose that the apodosis begins with ὦρτο δέ, as the end of a line suggests the break in the sentence. Ar., however, placed it at the bucolic diaeresis, as Aristonikos says “ δέ σύνδεσμος περισσός ἐστιν ἐν τῶιαὖε δ᾽ Ἀθήνη”,” and the antithesis with “αὖε δέ” in 51 is thus made slightly more effective.
