[103] ἀδμῆτες, “unyoked”; cf. Ant. Lib. 23. 3 “ἑκατὸν βοῦς ἄζυγας （ἀπελαύνει）.” The form (for the more common “ἄδμητοι” ) occurs Hom. Od. 4.637, of mules. There is no objection to the adjective here used adverbially with “ἵκανον” .
ἐς: here used loosely for “ἐπί”, “to” (not “inside,” as the context shews; see on 106). αὔλιον: for the Homeric “σταθμός”. It is used of the cave itself = “λάϊνον ἄντρον” 401.This text is part of:
