mvp-sidgwick-418-1-1 To avoid the hiatus we could read (with Porson) τί μ᾽ οὖν; but MSS. all give τί οὖν ; here, and Pers. 787 , Theb. 704, 208:

τί εἶπας;
Trach. 1203 ,
τι Ἅιδου
Ag. 1115 ,
τί ἔστι;
Pers. 693 : and the licence with τί is quite intelligible.

ἐπίσκοπα , such as look to, hath regard to no dishonourable victory; a vivid word for befit. The word is similarly used Cho. 126

εὐχὰς πατρῴων δωμάτων ἐπισκόπους,
Aias 976
ἄτης τῆσδ᾽ ἐπίσκοπον μέλος.

mvp-sidgwick-419-2-1 The νίκη is explained by ll. 864-866

: he means victory over foes, not in civil broils: and the next line extends it to all sort of prosperity.
