[22] ἀκέων is indeclinable here and 8.459, and Od. 21.89ἀκέων δαίνυσθε καθήμενοι”. Elsewhere it is always declined like a participle, and it is hard to see what else it can be. Of course “ἀκέουσ᾽” could easily be restored here, with Brandreth, or, as van L. and Agar (J. P. xxiv. 273) suggest, “μὲν ἀκήν”, but there is nothing to explain how such a corruption could have originated.
