page 6 note 3 Apart from Homer, Blümner cites nothing earlier than the Anth. Pal., save Eurip.

If his meanings for ελίσσειν and ἠλακάτᾳ are correct, it is difficult to see what kind of dative the latter can be. If, however, ἠλακάτη here also means spindle, the sense is simple, and we have another instance of the double instrumental dative, parallel to Sophocles, Ajax, 229: , where χερὶ corresponds to δακτύλοις and ξίφεσι to ἠλακάτᾳ.
