[153] ὧι, i.e. in my own hardihood; see App. This A. is obviously better than the two ways in which “ὧι” can be taken as the pronoun of the third person: (1) to fight against his bravery; (2) in the courage of it, viz. of my spirit. No parallel can be adduced for either of these; for (1) the nearest is the use of “βίη” in the sense of ‘a strong man,’ for (2) the use of the quasi-personal epithet “μεγαλήτωρ” with “θυμός”. Zenod. is said to have read “θάρσει ἐμῶι”, but to judge from his usual practice this is probably a mistake, and means that he explained “θάρσει ὧι” to mean “θάρσει ἐμῶι”. Compare the similar 6.126 “πολὺ προβέβηκας ἁπάντων”

“σῶι θάρσει”.
