εἰ καὶ ἐπίοι αὐτῷ . καί is not ‘even’ (J. and C.), otherwise there would be too much emphasis on ἐπίοι, but ‘also’: ‘if it should also occur to himself’ (sc. as Homer says it occurs to gods). The emphatic word is αὐτῷ. For τοιοῦτον Hartman requires either τοιοῦτόν τι or τὸ τοιοῦτον; but cf. 416 B, IV 426 B, 429 E, IX 590 E and II 368 A note σμικροῖσιν. See on I 330 B. ἐπὶ σμικροῖσι παθήμασι has a poetical rhythm, and may possibly be from a hexameter.
