Meaning
The Sun shines with beautiful rays at VIII.15, and Boreas is asked to restore solar radiance after cloud at LXXX.6. In the latter, the apparatus attributes instrumental ἀκτῖσιν to Hermann against the reported sequence ἀκτίνες ἁς. Both contexts concern emitted or restored illumination, rather than a separate luminous body.
