MSS. are divided between λύσαιτε and λύσατε. The former is practically equivalent to λῦσαί τε, the reading of Apio and Herodoros adopted by Wolf. This involves changing τὰ δ' into τά τ' (with Wolf) or καί (with Ap.and Her.). Bentley conj. λύσαντε. But the text may pass, as the opt. is well suited to a suppliant. As between δέχεσθε and δέχεσθαι there is nothing to choose; in either case the change of mood is rather harsh. See H. G. § 299 b, and for the article τὰ δ' ἄποινα, ‘on the other hand accept ransom,’ § 259. 1. |
