582 f.
The first major period i s dactylo-epitrite (although 582 also recalls the headless praxillean of 356). 584 (with p 8 1 ~ b vfor the corrupt cpeipivwv of the antistrophe) nearly reverses the movement of 582. 585 i s a prolongation of 584. After three rolling cola the metre changes to blunt iambic from 586. The lecythion of 587 again gives a kind of reverse effect to 586. In the last period the syncopated trimeter i s a prolongation of the opening dimeter, and the final catalectic trimeter gives a pendant clausula. (On the light anceps cf. LM2 84.)
A mixture of aeolo-choriambic and ionic but many uncertainties. Is there a major ionic and are 6 0 6 ~ 6 1 7 and 6 1 4 ~ 6 2 5 examples of it and are 6 1 2 ~ 6 2 3 a catalectic form? But 606 and 614 may be aeolo-choriambic and a variation on the asclepiad. (The text follows LM2 142 in interpreting them a s choriambic dodecasyllables and 612 as telesillean, cf. Trach. 849-50.)

604 f.

607 = 618

The free responsion i s impossible, and the antistrophe line seems the weaker of the two. For it Wilamowitz, Hermes 59, 1923, 253-4 suggested 6 E166uiv ob6iv; perhaps something like &yvG-ri 6 hpihai. (This is based on the seminar and A.M.D.s Sophocles text; the note books prefer the antistrophe giving chor dim cat.) (See LM2 163)

6 0 9 - l o = 620-1

The clausula equals the third phrase 606, cf. also the anacreontic 611. Penultimate period close, ithyphallic, i s a clear answer to d s - three lines before. Both strophe and antistrophe end E K T ~ S &saS.
