Du mir von Anseh'n, außer daß dies Loos dich traf;)
Bleib' hier, o Fremdling, wo du mir zuerst erschienst,
Bis ich Kolonos' Bürgern, nicht dem Volk der Stadt, 1
Den Fall zu melden gehe; die entscheiden dann,
Ob hier du bleiben, ob du wieder ziehen sollst.

And bring him instant hither.

Commentary

Commentary (R. C. Jebb) (OCR draft) (Commentary (R. C. Jebb))

mvp-comment-166-1 Hermann's μέλλετον (for the MS. μέλλετ’ ) is fitting, since Oed. and Ant. have just been speaking together; and is clearly better than μέλλετέ γ’ (Triclinius) or μέλλομεν (suggested by Elms.). The sing. τάχυνε rightly follows, since it is from Oed. alone that a reply is sought.

219. mvp-comment-129-1 Hermann's correction of this line is adopted without denying that some other (e. g. μέλλεις, Blaydes) may possibly be right.
