In the last issue of the C.Q. Mr. Powell has called attention to my emendation ἔρρε κακῇ γ;λνῃ, which he finds a difficulty in accepting, because he cannot find any formula of imprecation corresponding to the formula of blessing, τχγαθῇ. He would, therefore, if I am not mistaken, take refuge in a suggestion of Mr. T. C. Snow's, which maintains the traditional vocative, while at the same time annexing my new explanation. Evidently my exposure in Homerica (Pref. p. 9) of the futility of the long-established ‘poor puppet’ has taken effect, and I am glad of it, for it simplifies matters considerably, if the only question between Mr. Powell and myself is whether ‘O evil eye’ or ‘with the evil eye’ is the better.
