[235] All the attested variants here are wrong; “εἰδέω χάριν” is condemned by the synizesis, Ar.'s “χάριν εἰδέω” still more by neglect of the “ϝ”, and the vulgate ἰδέω by the short stem-vowel, which is quite irregular. The correct form is “ϝείδω” (cf. “εἴδομεν, εἴδετε”), which was first restored by Brandreth. See H. G. § 80.
