1046. mvp-comment-743-1 ὦ . . ἐγώ, κ.τ.λ.] For this mode of expression, cp. O. C. 337 foll, ὦ πάντ᾽ ἐκείνω . . τροφάς, κ.τ.λ. *κοὐ λόγῳ κακά] Evils that were so not in name only. This is Bothe's emendation of the MS. reading καὶ λόγῳ, which is certainly as old as Cicero's translation (Tusc. Disp. 2. 20), Multa dictu gravia, perpessu aspera.' This may be explained to mean, 'Even in report' (how much more, then, in reality!). Cp. Hdt. 7. 10, § 10, καίτοι καὶ λόγῳ ἀκοῦσαι δεινόν, ἐπ᾿ ἀνδρί γε ἑνὶ πάντα .. γεγενήσθαι. Wunder conjectures καὶ λόγων πέρα, which yields a fair sense, but κοὐ λόγῳ is simpler and more forcible. Cp. Aesch. S. c. Τ. 847, ἦλθε δ᾽ αἰακτὰ πήματ᾽ οὐ λόγῳ.
