[153] νέαται, the lowest, i.e. extreme, outermost towns of Pylos. So 11.712, and see note on 5.539. Ar. strangely took the word as a verb = “ναίονται”, as though from a non-existent “νεῖμαι”, which involves the necessity of joining “ἁλὸς Πύλου”, ‘the sea of Pylos,’ which is not a Homeric phrase. Of course the same objection applies to the variant “κέαται”.
