ἐρείομεν is an anomalous form, and should come from a present * ἔρημι (H. G. § 80). The -ο- cannot, of course, stand in the pres. subj. of a thematic form. Nauck writes ἐρώμεθα (cf. Od. 8.133), Schulze ἐρήομεν, Fick ἐρεύομεν, as aorist (ἐρεῦαι like χεῦαι). |

The ἱερεύς is mentioned merely as an authority on ritual (65), not as a diviner; for the Homeric priest as such seems to have had no functions of divination; there are no omens from sacrifices. |
