NOTES ON THE TEXT.
Eumenides.
132. ἐπουρίσασα τῷ This use of τῷ for αὐτῷ is undoubtedly corrupt in 166 and 337; so, also, as I think, in Agam. 7. I have no Index that will tell of other such passages, but I think this ought to be ἐπουρίσασά τῳ, i.e. τινί, "some one."
155. βαρὺ τὸ περίβαρυ is clearly wrong βαρύ τι, περίβαρυ, proposed by Wakefield, is adopted by Schutz and Hermann.
158. For θρόνον Dindorf reads θρόμβον, which has no syntax. I can believe in θρόμβῳ or θρόμβοις, joining φονολιβῆ to ὀμφαλόν.
166. καὶ τὸν is absurd: ἑαυτὸν gives the necessary sense. The simplest change is χαὐτὸν for καὶ τὸν.
168. Linwood condemns ἐν κάρα. Certainly ἐν Ἀϊδα is more to the purpose, especially with ἔκ γ᾽ ἐμοῦ.
169. ἐκείνου. Scholefield proposed ἐξ ἐμοῦ; qu., ἔκ γ᾽ ἐμοῦ? But Hermann suggested ἔστιν οὗ.
337. Dindorf excellently changes ἐπὶ τὸν ὦ to ἐπιτόνως, and ὄνθ᾽ ὁμοίως to ὄντα περ, ὅμως (perhaps following Hermann); and bolder still, writes νεόαιμον in place of ὑφ᾽ αἵματος νέου. It must be admitted that the last words are a mere interpretation of some adjective whose place they have usurped; but I should look rather for an adjective which did not contain the word αἷμα, as νεοθηγῆ or νεοαρδῆ.
