4 There is one passage where I find G.'s normally skilful deployment of secondary material less convincing. At 327 G. argues for αὐτόματοϲ, inferring from Eustathius 604.43 ff. that there was a ‘grammatical theory’ of distinction between Homeric and post-Homeric practice as to the number of terminations of this adjective (Bern. 38); however Eustathius' remark is somewhat obscure and certainly very flimsy as evidence for this ‘theory’, and contemporary metrical practice required Dilthey's αὐτομάτη (with penultimate accent before the masculine caesura) as Keydell insists (Gnomon 41 (1969), 741–2, cf. Nonni.… Dionysiaca pref. p.38), even though at 54 a good case can be made for ἀγειρόμενοι
