163—766: injured and not to be re-
stored with any certainty. The general
sense is that ὕβρις (the parent) gives
birth to ὕβρις (the child) and also to
θράσος, an offspring like their progeni-
tors.—In v. 763 something extraneous
has been incorporated with the text: I
should be satisfied with ὅτε τὸ κύριον μόλῃ
νεαρὰ φάους, when the young one (the
young ὕβρις) comes to the appointed hour
of light (τὸ κύριον $áovs), z.e. of birth, and
for δαίμονά re τὸν, condemned by metre
and Aeschylean usage, perhaps δαίμονα
T ἔταν (érüv Wecklein) and a kindred
spirit. In vv. 764—766 either the plural
εἰδομένας, or else the dual throughout

the second better (Donaldson), as ac-
counting easily for the errors, having

gular and variously corrected to the acc.
plural and the acc. singular. For a great
number of suggestions see Wecklein's
Appendix.
768. τὸν ἐναίσιμον the virtuous
man.—Blov (omitted by Ahrens) is a
mistaken explanation. Aeschylus would
write ἐναίσιμον βίον not τὸν ἐναίσιμον
βίον.

MS. error is due to the omission of re-
peated letters in dedefAa; hence eda,
corrected to the common ἐσθλά.
