[446] ἐΐσκομεν, do we fancy (do you suppose we fancy) that the recompense is at all (“τι”) sufficient? For “ἐΐσκω” cf. 21.332; the word seems to imply that Idomeneus contemptuously rejects the idea that the recompense is enough, and calls on Deïphobos to come forward and make a fourth. It is possible also to take the sentence affirmatively, we truly think the recompense fair: but “τι” is in favour of the interrogation. In the variant “τί σ᾽”, which was rejected by Ar., “σ᾽” could only stand for “σοι”, and the elision would be very harsh, though possible.
