1402. mvp-comment-927-1 At this point, before the commencement of the trochaic movement, which indicates departure ( cp. O. T. 1515 foll.), there must have been some by-play, signifying the act of renunciation on the part of Neoptolemus. Porson thought this verse defective in rhythm. But it has not been improved by conjectural alteration. Cp. supr. 526, 645.
