[611] The position of the epithet καλ́ην at the end of a line agreeing with a substantive in the next is not Homeric. Hence Lehrs (Ar. p. 450) suggests “καλῆς”. See also on 16.104. The cases where the adjective forms part of the predicate are of course different: e.g. “καλὸν ι εἶδος ἔπ᾽” 3.44, “ἔνθα πάχιστος ι μυὼν ἀνθρώπου πέλεται” 17.314. The same exception applies to “πάντες, θαμειάς” (12.44, 18.68） “ἄκρος” (12.51, 15.653, 17.264).
