doubts the form ὀπτίζειν to see/look at K, who nonetheless adds ‘by what right, I do not see’. It occurred to Diels that the Doric word ὀπτίλλος eyes fits: ‘The metonymic use of the word ὀφθαλμός eye (Xenoph. Oec. 12, 20 the eye of the master, cf. Aesch. Cho. 933. Pers. 171 etc.) would explain the semi-poetic expression.’ || p. 20, 8 ὁρμή impulse and ἀρχή beginning/principle are confused elsewhere as well, as in Arist. Phys. B 1, 192^b, 18 (cf.

Pyth. F consistently provides φιλόνικος, φιλονικία), there had crept in φιλόνεικος, φιλονεικία etc., which grammarians, otherwise of sound judgment, had attempted to defend.
