Meaning

The Mother of the Gods is “called Hestia” at XXVII.9. The passive participle αὐδαχθεῖσα belongs under αὐδάζομαι and describes a naming received, not speech uttered by the goddess. The apparatus attributes the participial sequence to Hermann against αὐδάχθης σὲ δέ; the printed naming relation remains the basis of this record.
