[125] “Quanquam animus meminisse horret, luctuque refugit, Incipiam.”  Virg.  AEn. i.

[126] I read [Greek:  enth’ emon poda] with Herm. and Dind.

[127] Cf.  Elect. 1258 sqq., and Meurs.  Areop.  Sec. i. [Greek:  psephos] seems here used to denote the place where the council was held.  The pollution of Mars was the murder of Hallirothius.  Cf.  Pausan. i. 21.

[128] An instance of the nominativus pendens.

[129] So Valckenaer, Diatr. p. 246, who quotes some passages relative to the treatment of Orestes at Athens.

[130] See the Cambridge editor.

[131] See Barnes, who quotes the Schol. on Arist.  Eq. 95. [Greek:  Chous] was the name of the festival.

[132] [Greek:  emoi] is the dativus commodi.

[133] I am indebted to Maltby for this translation.

[134] Cf.  Piers, on Moer. p. 351, and the Cambridge editor.

[135] But see ed.  Camb.

[136] Such is the force, of [Greek:  ou gar all’].

[137] These lines are very corrupt, and perhaps, as Dindorf thinks, spurious.

[138] Markland rightly reads [Greek:  hierophylakes].

[139] “dicam me daturam.”  MARKLAND.

[140] [Greek:  hod’] is the correction of Brodaeus.

[141] [Greek:  neos pitylos] seems not merely a periphrase, but implies that the oars are in the row-locks, as if ready for starting.

[142] But the Cambridge editor very elegantly reads [Greek:  ei toi].

[143] Put [Greek:  phthenxasthe] in an inclosure, and join [Greek:  tauta] with [Greek:  thelei].  See ed.  Camb.

[144] Schol.  Theocr.  Id. vii. 57. [Greek:  threnetikon to zoion, kai para tois aigialois neotteuon].  Cf.  Aristoph.  Ran. 1309, who perhaps had the passage in view.

[145] [Greek:  agoros] is a somewhat rare word for [Greek:  agyris].

[146] Cf.  Hecub. 457 sqq.

[147] So Matthiae, “locum ubi Latona partum edidit.”

[148] Read [Greek:  kyklion] with Seidler.  On the [Greek:  limne trochoeides] at Delos, see Barnes.

[149] “I was conveyed by sailors and soldiers.”  ED. CAMB.

[150] The same scholar quotes Soph.  Ph. 43. [Greek:  all’ e’ pi phorbes noston exelelythen], vhere [Greek:  nostos] is used in the same manner as here, simply meaning “a journey.”

[151] But see Camb. ed.

[152] I read [Greek:  zelousa tan] with the same.

[153] The Cambridge critic again proposes [Greek:  metabolai d’ eudaimonia], which he felicitously supports.  Musgrave has however partly anticipated this emendation.

[154] Dindorf has shown so little care in editing this passage, that I have merely recalled the old reading, [Greek:  aeri d’ histia protonoi k. pr. hyper stolon ekp.], following the construction proposed by Heath, and approved, as it appears, by the Cambridge editor.  Seidler’s note is learned and instructive, but I have some doubts about his criticism.
