[159] παρ́ηϊον, the singular is used collectively, as “γαστήρ” below, 163. La Roche conjectures “παρήϊα αἵματι φοινά”, which may be right, as the plur. “γλώσσηισι” immediately follows, and the desire to avoid the legitimate hiatus in the bucolic diaeresis would account for a corruption. φοινόν, here only in H., but “δαφοινόν” three times (“δαφοινεόν” 18.538), and “φοίνιον” Od. 18.97. In Hymn. Ap. 362 “φοινός” = murderous.
