Ist es ein Fischer, der
Sich, mühselig härmt bei schlaflosem Fang,
845
Ist es der Göttinnen Eine von Olympos' Höhn, 1
Oder ein flutender Bosporosstrom,
Die wo den unmuthschweren Mann
Irren geseh'n? Ach, wer sagt es uns? Traurig wohl,
Daß ich, in langen Müh'n umherschweifend, ihn
850
Nirgend fand, glücklichen Lauses froh,
Und nirgend sah des sinnberaubten Mannes Spur!

885. mvp-comment-574-1 Βοσπορίων ποταμών] ‘What flowing current of the Hellespont?' Cp. supr. 412, and note. The Hellespont with its various currents might be imagined as tenanted by many river-gods. ἴδρις, which follows these words in most MSS., but not in Mosq. ab., has nothing to correspond to it in the antistrophe, and is unnecessary to the sense.

885. mvp-comment-574-2 τὸν ὠμόθυμον] Cp. supr. 205, and note.

886. mvp-comment-575-1 εἴ ποθι.. λεύσσων] i. e. λεύσσων, εἴ ποθι λεύσσοι. See Essay on L. § 28. p. 47,3; and cp. Thuc. 1. 14. § 4.
