[326] νῦν δ᾽ ἔμπης γάρ are to be taken all together, as “νῦν δέ” goes with “ἐφεστᾶσιν”: there is no parenthesis beginning with “ἔμπης”. For the proleptic use of γάρ see H. G. § 348 (2). But since as it is death in any case is to come. ἐφεστᾶσιν, stand in reserve, in wait for us; the sense of “ἐπί” is the same as in “ἔφεδρος”. So Hes. Opp. 114 “οὐδέ τι δειλὸν γῆρας ἐπῆν”. (Verrall on Aisch. Ag. 552.) For the κῆρες see 2.302.
