εὔχομαι: Asyndeton, as often in prayers. Zeus is invoked. Cf. O. 1.115. ἀμφὶ καλῶν μοίρᾳ: The dat. of the thing at stake, as περί with dat. διχόβουλον: “Of divided mind.” Zeus is not to make (θέμεν) Nemesis double-minded. She is not to waver; she is to be a steady friend. P. 10.20: μὴ φθονεραῖς ἐκ θεῶν | μετατροπίαις ἐπικύρσαιεν, N. 10.89: οὐ γνώμᾳ διπλόαν θέτο [Ζεὺς] βουλήν. It must be remembered that matters were ἐπὶ ξυροῦ ἀκμῆς in Aigina. Others, “Of different mind,” “hostile.” διχ. νέμεσιν θ., “to rouse factious discontent” is too colorless.
