[235] γνοίην, ‘I could recognise and name,’ a sort of assimilation of the first clause to the second, for ‘whom I recognise and could name’ (Monro). Or, in other words, “γνοίην καί” = “γνοῦσα”: cf. ‘whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose,’ Aisch. Sept. 272ἱκέσθαι καί” = “ἱκομένους” (M. B.).
