670. mvp-comment-453-1 τιμαῖς] «Το authority:' literally, 'to official rank.' For τιμή of an official appointment, cp. Hdt. 7. 36, οἶσι προσεκέετο αὕτη ἡ ἄχαρις τιμή: Ar. Pol. 3. 10, 4, τιμὰς λέγομεν τὰς ἀρχάς. For τοῦτο μέν with only δé to follow, cp. Ο. C. 440, τοῦτο μὲν.. οἱ δ᾽ ἐπωφελεῖν, κ.τ.λ. νιφοστιβεῖς | χειμῶνες] «The wintry months whose track is marked with snow.' This (= νιφόεντας ἔχων τοὺς στίβους) agrees better with the meaning of other compounds such as χθονοστιβής (O.T. 301), and with the personification in ἐκχωροῦσιν, than · 'piled with snows' (L. and S.)-'Winter withdraws his snowy footsteps.'
