*)/agkeinq' *(hfai/stoio: a)nti\ tou= a)na/keintai.

A marginal addition in ms A; copied from rho 81, where this phrase from a line of an epigram (Greek Anthology 6.117.2, attributed to Pancrates) is quoted more accurately -- the offerings are *to* Hephaistos -- and in full.
For the verb a)na/keimai, which can become a)gk- in poetry, see LSJ s.v.
