Meaning
λυσεῦ directly addresses Dionysos at LII.2. Λυσεύς is a reconstructed nominative access form; the actual printed word is the vocative, which lexical evidence also groups with λύσιος. The apparatus attributes λυσεῦ to Schneider against λυσσεῦ, so the releasing title should not be silently converted into the fury-language suggested by the alternative spelling.
