[226] It seems that Ar. read “ἔγχεσι δ᾽ ἀλλήλων”, explaining ἀλεώμεθα by “φειδώμεθα” to account for its governing a genitive. But there is no trace of such a construction in H., though the verb is common enough; we are therefore bound to acquiesce in the reading of the text. δι᾽ ὁμίλου, in the throng as well as on an occasion like the present “ἐν προμάχοισι”.
