^{102 page note 1} After I had written this note my attention was drawn to Mr. J. Jackson's suggestion in C.Q. xxxv (1941), p. 182. At El. 568 he reads πάλαι δέδρκα.—μὴ σύ γ'· οὐκέτ' εὖ φρονεῖς. and takes δέδορκα as I have done, but treats μί δú γ' as an independent sentence. This elliptical use of μί δ´ γε is certainly common, but in this passage it is intelligible only in the light of a piece of stage business which Mr. Jackson suggests, but of which the text gives no definite indication. This particular action (‘the old man makes a motion to lead her to her brother’) is not difficult to imagine, but in view of the general practice of the tragedians to indicate any essential ‘business’ in the text, it is perhaps better not to have recourse to imagination of this kind.Google Scholar

^{102 page 7} The asyndeton would also be difficult here.
