9. [7] HYPOTH. SOPH. Oed. R. v [Schol. II 12, 11 Dind.] ἴδιον δέ τι πεπόνθασιν οἱ μεθ’ Ὅμηρον ποιηταὶ τοὺς πρὸ τῶν Τρωικῶν βασιλεῖς τυράννους προσαγορεύοντες ὀψέ ποτε τοῦδε τοῦ ὀνόματος εἰς τοὺς Ἕλληνας διαδοθέντος, κατὰ τοὺς Ἀρχιλόχου χρόνους, καθάπερ Ἱ. ὁ σοφιστής φησιν. Ὅμηρος γοῦν τὸν πάντων παρανομώτατον Ἔχετον βασιλέα φησὶ καὶ οὐ τύραννον εἰς Ἔχετον βασιλῆα βροτῶν δηλήμονα [σ 84].
