Verb. πάνδυρτον γόον γέννας (gen. subiect.). λαοπαθέα hängt, wie die Quantität zeigt, nicht mit λαός, sondern mit der verstärkenden Vorsilbe la (aufge- löst lão) zusammen, so daſs λαοπα- θής s. v. α. λεωπαθής ist, welches die Analogie von λεώλης, λεώλεθρος ᾿Αντιστρ. α΄. 940 Στρ. β΄. als gleichbedeutend mit παμπαθής erweist. βάρη muſs, da es auch Objekt zu ἀπηύρα 949 ist, entweder die Schiffsbemannung (Pol. I 61 bedeutet βάρη die Befrachtung der Schiffe) oder die schweren d. h. starkbemannten Schiffe bezeichnen. Also „anstaunend die volle Ver- nichtung der meergepeitschten starkbemannten Schiffe“. – γέννας, Μαριανδυνῶν.
