Tecmessa
When his disease raged highest, in the ills,
Which round encompass'd him, he felt a joy,
To us, whose sense was perfect, causing grief.
Now he is calm, and from his wild disease
Breathes free, with anguish all his soul is rack'd,
275
Nor less is our affliction than before.
From single is not this a double ill?

mvp-comment-181-2 προσέπτατο 2

mvp-comment-181-3 From the Homeric

ἔπτατο
( Il. 13. 592 , etc.) Tragedy borrows this non-thematic aor. (of which the active form would be
ἔπτην
): cp. 693 . The aor. of
πέτομαι
in Attic Comedy and prose is usu.
ἐπτόμην
(see Veitch, Irreg. Verbs, 2nd ed., p. 530): and of this we have the inf.
πτέσθαι
in O. T. 17 ,—again in accord with Homeric precedent ( Il. 4. 126
ἐπιπτέσθαι
).

282-283. mvp-comment-201-1 'In what wise lighted on you the commencement of the trouble? Tell us, who grieve with you at the misfortune, what it is.' τύχας, continuing the notion of κακοῦ, is governed either (1) both of δήλωσον and of ξυναλγοῦσιν, or (2) of ξυναλγοῦσιν only.
