ἄωτον: Appos. to ὕμνον. Compare O. 5.1; 8, 75.
οὕτω μοι παρεστάκοι: So with Mommsen, instead of οὕτω τοι παρέστα μοι. οὕτω, as she had done before. In a wish, P. 1.46. 56. With παρεστάκοι compare P. 8.70: κώμῳ μὲν ἁδυμελεῖ | Δίκα παρέστακε.
νεοσίγαλον: “With its gloss fresh upon it.” We say, with another figure, “fire-new.” O. 9.52: ἄνθεα δ᾽ ὕμνων νεωτέρων.
τρόπον: The novelty consists in the combination of honor to God and honor to man, of theoxenia and epinikion. See the Introduction.
