Notes on the current edition

Ichneutae

1. We recognize their excitement from the meter, which is dochmiac.
2. An inarticulate shout; the Satyrs make various non-verbal noises throughout the play.

mvp-comment-24-1 58 ff. The remains of the choral ode are too slight to reveal the general character of the metre, but dochmiacs are clearly recognizable in 68, 69 and 72. There is a certain degree of similarity to Eur. Cycl. 656 ff. Robert holds that the chorus entered σποράδην before the dialogue with Apollo was completed, and that they heard his concluding directions: see on 102.

mvp-comment-25-1 61 σέ τοι is a common combination in addresses, with λέγω or the like following: Ai. 359 , 1228, El. 1445 , O. C. 1578 . The governing verb is omitted in Ar. Av. 274 .

mvp-comment-26-1 63 ὑπόνομα seems to be used metaphorically (=cunning). The transference is attested by Hesych. IV p. 215
