Meaning
At XLVIII.3 the addressed Sabazios sews Dionysos into his thigh so that the child may come to term. The dative μηρῷ supplies the bodily location of the action; the verse’s explicit addressee should remain visible rather than being replaced by a different name from another version of the story.
