[482] στ́ησεσθαι after “μέμονας”, see note on 7.36. ἀντιφέρεσθαι, cf. 1.589 “ἀργαλέος γὰρ Ὁλύμπιος ἀντιφέρεσθαι. μένος” recalls “μένος ἀντιφερίζειν” or “ἰσοφαρίζειν” (411, 488, 6.101, cf. 9.390) where the verb means to rival, not as in 1.589 to oppose. It appears therefore that we must here take it in the former sense, if indeed we ought not to adopt the variant “ἀντιφερίζειν”. If it meant oppose we should require “μένει”.
