[388] ἐξ οἴκοιο ‘from an “οἶκος”,’—probably not the “μέγαρον”, but one of the buildings that opened into the “αὐλή”: cp. l. 354. Philoetius went out σιγῇ, so that the Suitors should not hear him: which would have been useless if they had seen him leave the “μέγαρον”. But from his “οἶκος” he could see Ulysses standing in the door-way.
