[483] εἱαμένηι, lowland, apparently from root “ἡς”, to sit, for “ἡσαμένη”, cf. “ἡμένωι ἐν χώρωι” Theok. xiii. 40. (Curt. Et. no. 568.) It will then be a false transcription of HEAMENEI = “ἡαμένηι. πεφύκηι” is Hermann's conjecture for “πεφύκει” of all MSS.; the pluperf. is entirely out of place in a simile, and of course the authority of MSS. as between “ει” and “η”（“ι”) is nil. La R. quotes a number of instances where the perf. subj. has been thus corrupted into the plup., 11.477, 16.633, 17.435, Od. 1.316, Od. 18.133, Od. 22.469. “πεφύκει” could be defended only as a secondary pres. from *“πεφύκω”, cf. “ἄνωγα — ἀνώγει”, etc., H. G. § 27. ἕλεος: cf. Od. 17.208 “αἰγείρων ὑδατοτρεφέων”.
