The article reassesses the textual problem raised by Pind. O. 6,15-17 ἑπτὰ δ’ ἔπειτα πυρᾶν νεκρῶν τελεσθέντων. It offers further evidence in support of the syntactical connection between the feminine noun πυρᾶν and the masculine participle τελεσθέντων, here meaning ‘built’ (“once the seven funeral pyres had been built”), in a literary occurrence of the so-called ‘Motionslosigkeit’ of masculine participles in -ντ-.
