I’m recording a reading of _A Greek Boy at Home_ and I can’t help but notice what seems to be a pretty obvious grammar errors in ΙΙΙΓ: ![截屏2026-09-17 20.51.24](https://www.textkit.com/uploads/default/original/2X/9/97999fd119af9027f43685101bb8ad31b348315b.jpeg) On line 11: > τὀ δ᾽ αὐτὸ ποιοῦμεν καὶ ἡμᾶς I’m sure the last word can only be ἡμεῖς, but want to check if I’m missing something obvious here… ---

I agree. Unfortunately it escaped also [Anne Mahoney](https://books.google.com/books?id=CeoSEAAAQBAJ&lpg=PP1&pg=PA5#v=onepage&q&f=false) ---

this is clearly incorrect (I don’t remember if I have corrected it in my recording), but it could also mean “we do the same to ourselves” if one considers the word αὐτούς omitted after the ἡμᾶς. But not a good option within this context…
