[434] κέληι, so MSS.; edd. generally “κέλεαι”, but the synizesis is no better than the contraction; see on 13.818. The form in -“ηι” being Odyssean (see Od. 4.812) should not be altered in “Ω”; though “ὃς κέλεαι” (as 12.235) is an easy change, παρὲξ Ἀ., behind Achilles' back, lit. ‘passing him by,’ cf. 10.391 “παρὲκ νόον ἤγαγε”, ‘led past my sense,’ much as we say ‘made me beside myself,’ and 20.133 “μὴ χαλέπαινε παρὲκ νόον”, ‘past’ = ‘in defiance of’ good sense.
