[165] The restoration of the added line in “παπ. λ” is not clear. “κατὰ χερσὶν” “ἀμησάμενοι” or -“ήσαντο” agrees with 24.165 (“κόπρος”) “τήν ῥα κυλινδόμενος καταμήσατο χερσὶν ἑῆισι”. Van L. completes “καὶ κονίην .. ἀμησάμενοι κεφαλῆφι”, but the “καί” joining the two participles is not satisfactory. Perhaps “καὶ κονίην κατὰ χερσὶν ἀμήσαντ᾽ αἰθαλόεσσαν” (cf. 18.23).
