[2] Note the suspicious trochaic caesura in the 4th foot. πεδίοιο, along the plain, as usual; not a partitive gen. after “ἔνθα. ἰθύειν” is the regular word for ‘charging,’ 4.507, 11.552, etc., the parallel form “ἰθύνειν” being used for the transitive. The mid. “ἰθύνεσθαι” recurs only Od. 5.270, Od. 22.8. ἰθυνομένων is gen. abs., the subject being easily supplied from the first line; ἀλλήλων is doubtless the gen. usual after verbs of aiming (H. G. § 151 c), and is not in agreement with the participle. Cf. 13.499.
