[527] ἀπεσσύμενον: vulg. “ἐπεσς”.; but the advance of Peiroos is completed in 524, so it is more natural to suppose that he was now retreating. The usual word, however, is “ἀπιόντα” (13.567, 14.409, etc.), and “ἀπεσσύμενον” seems rather strong for mere retreat. Hence “ἐπεσσύμενος”, the alternative read by Ar. in one of his editions, is perhaps more suitable, especially as Peiroos is wounded in the breast, not in the back.
