[139] For ἄρ᾽ ὀϊστός Zen. read “ἄρα χαλκός”, which Ar. rejected on the ground that the point of the arrow was of iron (123). The reading is naturally adopted by the critics who reject 123. Ar. also obelized 140, because ὠτειλή ought to mean a wound given, not by a shot, but by a thrust or cut, to which senses the verb “οὐτάζω” is limited. So also 149. This, however, is surely hypercritical.
