[587] “οὕτως αἱ Ἀριστάρχου οἳ καὶ πρόσθε: ἔν τισι δὲ τῶν εἰκαιοτέρων οἵ κε πρόσθε”, Did. All our MSS. read “κε” or “κεν”, which involves taking “εἰρυόμεσθα” as a future; but there is no meaning in the particle, which is purely otiose. “καί” is used with the rel. precisely as in 20.165, where see note. It marks the clause as a consequence of the preceding words, and may be expressed by ‘therefore.’ τοκέων, a non-Homeric form for “τοκήων”, see note on 15.660. “τεκέων” is obviously inadmissible here, and there is no satisfactory correction.
