1247. mvp-comment-883-1 For the position of οὖν, see note on supr. 1185. πανδίκως is to be taken with ἄνωγας, which is the chief word in the sentence. 'Do you order me outright?' i. e. Is it your full and authoritative command? Cp. O. C. 1306. Others interpret, With entire justice,' i. e. 'Is it quite right that a son should burn a father?' (Paley.)
