Not noticing Ismene's hint (336), Oedipus imagines his sons in repose at Thebes. He is soon to learn that one of them, an exile, is levying war against the other (374). οἰκουροῦσιν, not “οἰκουρεῖτον”, though a dual follows (345): O. T. 1511f. “εἰχέτην...εὔχεσθε”: Xen. Cyr. 6.1.47 “ὡς εἰδέτην...ἠσπάσαντο ἀλλήλους”: Plat. Prot. 330C “εἴπετον δή μοι...ὃ ὠνομάσατε ἄρτι”. ὥστε=ὡς, an epic use freq. in Aesch. and Soph. παρθένοι. [Dem.] In Neaer. (or. 59) § 86 “ἱκανὸν φόβον ταῖς γυναιξὶ παρασκευάζων τοῦ σωφρονεῖν καὶ μηδὲν ἁμαρτάνειν ἀλλὰ δικαίως οἰκουρεῖν”.
