αὐτοῦ, ‘he’ emphatic, ‘the god’; a use which reminds us of the Pythagorean αὐτὸς ἔφα. We should have expected the word to imply an opposition to some other person as in 51; merely to contrast the god with the arrows seems weak. It was probably this which induced Zen., followed by Bentley and Bekker, to athetize this and the preceding line; but the couplet is too fine to be sacrificed. |
