Line 405

† ἐπὶ τίνα τʼ ἐπίνοιαν. †
The sentence fragment is marked with daggers (†) in the critical apparatus, indicating that the text is corrupt and likely lacunose at this point. The phrase 'ἐπὶ τίνα τʼ ἐπίνοιαν' ('onto what sort of plan?') appears syntactically suspended without a governing verb, and the particle 'τε' suggests a connection to a preceding clause that is missing or corrupted in the transmitted manuscripts. This represents a genuine textual crux where the exact wording and grammatical completeness of the passage remain uncertain, necessitating reliance on conjecture or contextual reconstruction from parallel passages in the play.
