So van Leeuwen prints the lines, following Cobet and Meineke in athetizing 16. Nor is it difficult to find grounds for the exclusion; τòν ἒποϕ is (virtually) repeated at 47; the following three words smell of the scholiast; the last three resemble the end of 13. The line taken as a whole seems to play little if any role, and indeed to lack meaning, even if line 47 is some way away and it is a little odd that the three separate elements meld into a perfectly acceptable comic trimeter (but compare Wasps 1293). Conjectures are not lacking for the replacement of ⋯κ τ⋯ν ⋯ρν⋯ων by something which gives more sense; Köchly's ἂνθρωποσ ποτ' ὢν may be taken as typical in both meaning and style.
