[164] οὐκέτι, no longer, i.e. your presents have passed the point at which they could be lightly esteemed (Ameis). But Nestor is really looking back to a time when Agamemnon was offering, not insufficient presents, but nothing at all. The expression he uses is very courteous, but shews which way his thoughts are running. διδοῖς, rather “δίδως”: cf. on 5.880; but “διδοῖ” l. 519, Od. 4.237, Od. 17.350, “διδοῖσθα” 19.270.

The Iliad, edited, with apparatus criticus, prolegomena, notes, and appendices. Walter Leaf. London. Macmillan. 1900.
