[568] For the significance of the σκ̂ηπτρον see on 1.234. “ χειρί ”, not “χερσί”, is the natural form in this connexion, see Od. 2.37, Od. 18.103, but we have “χερσί” in 10.328, and the plur. is used when gifts or prizes are in question, e.g. [565], 624, 797, 1.441, Od. 8.406, Od. 15.130. But when a cup is offered Ar. preferred the singular; see 1.585 compared with 596 (La R. H. T. p. 378).
