[825] ἀμφί with gen. recurs in H. only Od. 8.267, though the case is common with the compound “ἀμφιμάχεσθαι”; see note on 526, and H. G. § 184. πιέμεν with “ι_” only here and Od. 16.143, Od. 18.3; in all other cases the aor. has “ι^” (thirty-three times). It is easy here to adopt the variant “πινέμεν”, but Schulze (Q. E. p. 360) would read “πίμεναι”, from a non-thematic aor. *“ἔπι_ν”, of which we have imper. “πῖθι”, and subj. “πι?ομαι” used as fut., like “ἔδομαι” beside “ἔδμεναι”.
