2 A case could also be made at Od. 1.128,2.412,9.367,15.449.

3 Eustathius ad loc. writes λ⋯γε↓. This may suggest he read μεηστήρωε with òρυμαγδ. The fact that the scholion ad loc. gives the lemma as κτoθεε ἄλλωε (not κτoθεε ἄλλωε μεηστήρωε) may be significant (cf. e.g. the scholia at Od. 1.60 and 312, where the lemma overlaps the next line).

4 For the placement of μή, cf. e.g. il. 5.24, 6.57,9.522,15.196, Od. 16.133, 18.20, 62, 24.174. A separation as great as μεηστήρω… òρυμαγδ is not common in Homer, but extreme examples can also be seen at Il. 11.242–3,12.177–8,23.339–40 and Od. 21.372–3.
