[144] “ ἄλλως ” = “μάτην” as the scholia observe, quoting Eur. Med. 1030, Ar. Equ. 11; the usage is common in Attic prose as well as poetry. Fick refers the word in this sense to *“ἄλιοσ῀ἠλεός”, Aeol. “ἆλλος”, see note on 15.128. It may here be referred to the ordinary use of “ἄλλος”, in other wise than what proves to be the reality; but it is equally likely that from passages like this a confusion between the two words was established.
