καὶ μὴν: 1168 n. ἡμῖν, a ‘dativus incommodi,’—‘to trouble us.’— δῆλος, in the personal constr. with partic., as O.T. 673, Ph. 1011.(With “ὡς” added, above, Ph. 326 n.) μοὐστὶ: for the crasis, cp. Ph. 812“ὡς οὐ θέμις γ᾽ ἐμοὔστι σοῦ μολεῖν ἄτερ.” σκαιὸν … στόμα. The notion of “σκαιός” here is that of headstrong perversity, unrestrained by good sense or good feeling; cp. Eur. fr. 290 “ἀεὶ γὰρ ἄνδρα σκαιόν, ἰσχυρὸν φύσει”, | “ἧσσον δέδοικα τἀσθενοῦς τε καὶ σοφοῦ”. Dem. or. 18 § 120 “σκαιὸς..καὶ ἀναίσθητος.” ἐκλύσων: Isocr. or. 12 § 96 “ἐπελήλυθέ μοι τὸ παρρησιάζεσθαι καὶ λέλυκα τὸ στόμα”. Eur. Hipp. 1060“τί δῆτα τοὐμὸν οὐ λύω στόμα;” Cp. Eur. Bacch. 385“ἀχαλίνων στομάτων”.
