134 NOTES.
1376. —,Xarovr' 0oru E'3fXaCroE, Originating as it dzd.
1377. —Repeat o'gLe 7v C4LJEUpos.
1 378.-acrTv —7r pyos —afaJX ara. These are nominatives
to some such sentence as So-av E[lfrtpEpa O'EO2at.
1379.-Some would join o with.pawE/C. It is more natu.
ral to join it with 7ravTXrlowv Cy, i. e., the wretched 1
or, "I the wretched."
1 380. —KaXXtarTa qualifies TpaeLvs. - avp eJs. Brunck
says "solus virorum."
1385.-voTvo.vs. This refers to a'o-Tv, 7rrpyos, etc.
1387.-oiK av &EX4/iVv, I would not refrain, literally,'"I
would not hold myself."
1390. —To yap Trnv 4povT3a OKKECV. Here we have an accusative before an infinitive, and both together forming a
nominative noun, having the article before it. It is to
be explained thus: OlKEli is really a noun (as are all
infinitives), To OiKEWV is therefore a proper subject to
CTLr YXVKV, i. e., "' the dwelling is sweet." But what.
dwelling is sweet? The dwelling of the mind, (Tr
KcaTa Tpv fpovvt&a OLKEJV).
1392.-W-& ~Eha.. It seems at first that av should be here
inserted, or another mode used; but many other similar constructions show us the correctness of the present
reading. Perhaps, by way of analysis, we may read
the sentence thus, " Why didst thou not, taking me,
slay me straightway-thus I had showzn myself," etc.,
where we also in English use the indicative.
1395.-Xoypo, i. e., supposed to be such, though they were
not. - 0oov KaXX0o KoaiKv vZrovXov, what a fairness,
ulcered tnzdeq wzvith evils.
