[186] φ̂ησθα, imperf. (or aor.?), the present being “φῆισθα” (so Od. 14.149), according to the grammarians; but this is probably mere fancy. Tyrannio wrote “φήσθα” as pres., “φῆσθα” as imperf. Either tense suits equally well. γένος is to be taken by itself, by race, the genitives being directly dependent upon “ἔμμεναι”, and so γενέην in the next line (cf. 14.113, Od. 15.225).
