[1] ᵍ{[Ἡ] μὲν [δὴ] [τράπεζα]}
ˢ{[ταχέως] [ἐγένετο κενὴ] [ἄρτων καὶ κρεῶν]:
ᵍ{[καθήμενοι]} δὲ
ˢ{[περὶ] [τῆς Μυρτάλης καὶ τοῦ Λάμωνος] [ἐπυνθάνοντο]}
καὶ
ᵍ{[εὐδαιμόνιζον αὐτοὺς]}
ˢ{[τοιούτου] [γηροτρόφου] [εὐτυχήσαντας]}.

[2] Καὶ ᵍ{[τοῖς ἐπαίνοις] μὲν [ἥδετο] [Χλόης ἀκροωμένης]}: ?{[ὅτε] δὲ [κατεῖχον αὐτόν], [ὡς]} ˢ{[θύσοντες] [Διονύσῳ] [τῆς ἐπιούσης ἡμέρας]}, ᵍ{[μικροῦ δεῖν] [ὑφ̓ ἡδονῆς] [ἐκείνους]} ˢ{[ἀντὶ] [τοῦ Διονύσου] [προσεκύνησεν]}.

[3] [Αὐτίκα] οὖν [ἐκ] [τῆς πήρας] [προυκόμιζε μελιτώματα πολλὰ] καὶ [τοὺς θηραθέντας] δὲ [τῶν ὀρνίθων]: καὶ [τούτους] [ἐς τράπεζαν νυκτερινὴν] [ηὐτρέπιζον]. {[Δεύτερος] [κρατὴρ] [ἵστατο]} καὶ {[δεύτερον] [πῦρ] [ἀνεκάετο]}. [4] ᵍ{Καὶ [ταχὺ] [μάλα] [νυκτὸς γενομένης]}, ˢ{[δευτέρας] [τραπέζης] (perhaps when the adjective is placed before the noun in the first part it is co-located) [ἐνεφοροῦντο]},
{[μεθ̓ ἣν]
<<{[τὰ] [μὲν] [μυθολογήσαντες]} {[τὰ] [δὲ] [ᾄσαντες]}>> (this phrase seems parenthetical)
[εἰς ὕπνον] [ἐχώρουν]},

{[Χλόη] [μετὰ] [τῆς μητρός]},
{[Δρύας] [ἅμα] [Δάφνιδι]}. (This pair suggests the suitability of μετὰ to one style and ἅμα to the other)

[5] {[Χλόῃ] μὲν οὖν [οὐδὲν χρηστὸν] [ἦν]} ὅτι μὴ [τῆς ἐπιούσης ἡμέρας] [ὀφθησόμενος] [ὁ Δάφνις](this is an example when the subject of a theta passive occurs after the theta passive verb in the third position - it might be that they are in the same unit): [Δάφνις] δὲ [κενὴν τέρψιν] [ἐτέρπετο]: [τερπνὸν] γὰρ [ἐνόμιζε] καὶ {[πατρὶ] [συγκοιμηθῆναι] [Χλόης]}:

ᵍ{[ὥστε] [καὶ] [περιέβαλλεν [p. 289] αὐτὸν]} (this pronoun is after the verb in the third position grouped with and that leaves καὶ to be an emphatic (by syntactic nature), ie. strong enough to stand alone, adverbial - it is probable that the positioning of the adverbial accusatives is significant. Alternatively, the ὥστε is at a discourse level and each of the three words are in different positions)
ˢ{[καὶ] [κατεφίλει] [πολλάκις]},
ᵍ{[ταῦτα] [πάντα] [ποιεῖν]}
ˢ{[Χλόην] [ὀνειροπολούμενος]}.(a single unit?)
