λιπὼν (sc. “τὸν πλοῦν στελῶ”) after “ἐκλιπών”, as 1383 “αἰσχύνοιτ̓” after “καταισχύνει”. Cp. O. C. 841“προβᾶθ᾽ ὧδε, βᾶτε.” πέμπω, convey: cp. 1368, 1399, 1465. The v. l. πέμπων (prob. a mere error caused by “λιπὼν”) would require us to supply “τὸν πλοῦν στέλλω” (subjunct.).— τοῦτ̓, emphatic, as Tr. 458“τὸ μὴ πυθέσθαι, τοῦτό μ᾽ ἀλγύνειεν ἄν”: cp. O. C. 504, O. T. 407.Remark the repetition of τοῦτ᾽ ἀνιῶμαι πάλαι so soon after 906. So Ant. 613 and 618 “οὐδὲν ἕρπει”: ib. 614 and 625 “ἐκτὸς ἄτας”.
