A7^»^y av is voc/s Tfov ptsvor, euflap eyftrye A LL the editions which I have an opportunity of consults '^^ ing render the last line ; precabor Achillem deponere iram. Is not this very evidently inconsistent with the Greek ? It would be right if it was A;giXXiy« ; but I believe there is no instance that Aio-a-ofAm ever governs a dative case. Throughout the Iliad, I think I may venture to affirm, it has always an accusative. Either then the true reading must be A%;XAiy« or the sense will be a very different one from that which the interpreters give to this passage, and a sense which, I think, is much more k^^reeable to the cofiteit

A7^»^y av is voc/s Tfov ptsvor, euflap eyftrye. TOUTES les éditions que j'ai eu l'occasion de consulter rendent le dernier vers ainsi : precabor Achillem deponere iram. N'est-ce pas très manifestement incompatible avec le grec ? Ce serait juste si l'on lisait A;giXXiy« ; mais je crois qu'il n'existe aucun exemple où Aio-a-ofAm régisse jamais un datif. Dans toute l'Iliade, je crois pouvoir affirmer qu'il est toujours suivi d'un accusatif. Il faut donc que la véritable leçon soit A%;XAiy«, ou bien le sens sera fort différent de celui que les interprètes donnent à ce passage, et ce sens, à mon avis, convient bien davantage au contexte.
