Notes

  1. 15.1πρῷν — A poetic, contracted form of the adverb πρώην (lately, the other day).
  2. 15.1ἡμῖν — Dative of the first-person plural pronoun. In relation to the transitive verb ἤγειρεν (aorist of ἐγείρω, 'to rouse'), it functions either as a dative of interest ('for us') or a dative affecting the group.
