There are four problems to be faced in 710–12. Is πρσει correct? Who was Orestes? What is the construction of 'ρστῃ? What is the meaning of ἵνα μῥιλν ποδὐῃ? A brief review of the evidence collected on the subject of Orestes is the first essential.

10 As in Plat. Phaed. 87B. θοιμτιον ō μπεíχετο αὐτòσ ὐπηνμενοσ, In Plat. Hipp. mi.368c. ὑποσματα ἂ εῖχεσ ἓπησθα αὐτóσ σκντοτομσαι και τò ìμτιον ὑπναι καì τòν χτωνíσκον the point is the garments are his own manufacture, not that manufactured garments for himself to wear. So too, in Plat. Charm., 161E τοὖ I'óμον τοὖ κελεὖοντοσ τó αντοὖ íμτον ὑπαíνειν ὑπαíνειν καí πλὐνειν— ‘ ‘each man must be his own manufacturer But I don't think this point can be pressed.’

(π. óπρλζειν) was particularly applicable to preparation of mortar or concrete for building operations.’ Surely this is more natural than to suppose that 839 refers to the mixing of material for making bricks.

page 114 note 19 F. Wieseler, I find, had the same thought. Cf. Nov. sched. crit. in Ar. Av.attached to Index scholarum … in Acad. Georg. Augusta habitarum Oct. 1882-Mar. 1883, p. 17: ‘mentionem murorum aedificationis … ab Aristophane omnino non esse factum, tam est mirum, ut Meinekius, Din-dorfius, Kockius suo iure in Vs. 1050 inter κατóπιν et σπερ excidisse nonnulla uerba statu-erint.’ He suggests έπλινθύϕυν=‘lateres texu erunt’ for έπλινθοϕƄρουν, comparing πλινθυϕής Aesch. P.V. 450, and adding ‘accedit, quod etiam uerbum περιεζωσμέναι magis ad opifices quam ad baiulos aptum est.’ In ντται he thinks there may have been a play on νσαι, cf. πνράν ξύλα, βμον νσαι. (Similarly the storks are given their task because their name suggested the (tau;εῖχοσ IIελαρλικóν). In defence of (πλινθὐπουν one might add Plat.

page 114 note 20 In I.G. 22463, 54–58 (307/6 B.C.) πλινθοβολήοει [ἔ]ξ στοίΧομς which must mean ‘lay six courses of brick on top.’ The sense ‘to repair with brickwork’ (‘repiquage’ Daremberg, and Saglio, s.v. structura, p. 1151)Google Scholaris sometimes possible; but not, I think, the sense πλινθουλκεῖν ‘to make bricks’ which H. Van Herwerden suggests (Lex. Grace. Supplet. s.v.βάλλειν, q.v.for further reff.). L. and S. translate πλ βάλλειν and άναβάλλειν as ‘to lay bricks’; so too έπιπλινθοβολεῖν supr.
page 114 note 21 Very likely the word accounts for this interpretation. It occurs in Plat. Phileb.56c, with the scholium τεκτονικόν έστιν ὂργανον & προσάγοντες εύθύνονσι τ στρεβλ ξύλα; and also in Ditt. Syll. 540,118. (Cf. Van Leeuwen's note on 1149.)

Epicae, p. 256Google Scholar, groups ύπαγωγεύς (if it means an implement) wit h such words as πνιγεύς, ṕυτήρ, μετρητής The suffixes, denoting the activities of persons, were extended ‘by a kind of animism’ to things of similar function. Cf. the substantival use of the masc. partic. τένων,άμείβοντες. On έπαγωγεύς=ʼ ‘calx quo murus inducitur’ he writes: ‘Est inter artis uocabula, quae in -εύς desinunt, referendum; sed notabile hoc habet, quod non τό έπάγον significat, sed τό έτέρῳ τινι έπαγόμενον … similes sunt στροϕεύς amphora quae utrimque portatur, στροϕεύς cardo in quo uersatur ianua, Cf. etiam έπίστατον id in quo stat (collocatur) olla, et eadem ratione formatum esse germanicum überziehir (vestem “qua quis induitur”) observat amicus collega Hartman.’ English can add ‘drawers,’ and American ’pull-over.’

page 115 note 31 I choose the word ‘layer’ because, like ύπαγωγεύς, it applies equally well to the mortar as laid and to the man who lays it.

page 115 note 34 Adv., p. 121, as reported by Blaydes in 1882. Cary also took ύπαγ. to be ‘a kind of cement or mortar“ in loose apposition to πηλόν. W. C. Green, if ύπαγ. can = ‘mortar’, suggests punctuating after κατόπιν, ‘as bricklayers’ boys carry the mortar’; but this throws too much emphasis on έν τοῖς στόμασιν and retards the movement of the passage as a whole.
