1312. mvp-comment-840-1 Erfurdt's correction (see v. rr.) appears necessary. It is barely possible that ἢ.. τε may = ἢ καί, but far more probable that γε was changed to τε by accident, and τε to θε by mistaken correction. And γε is expressive, 'Ay, or shall I say?' as if replying to a tacit demurrer. Teucer in his anger, like Achilles in Il. 9. 327, δάρων ἕνεκα σφερεράων, does not choose to discriminate nicely the relation of Helen to the Atreidae.
