Translation

It is applied to both in Homer, [i.e.] both as comparative and as absolute.1 [Homer writes] "of the younger Graces," since Homer assumes two generations of Graces, an elder and a younger. For this reason he says "younger" comparatively.2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ὁπλότερος· κατ' ἄμφω τίθεται παρ' Ὁμήρῳ, καὶ συγκριτικῶς καὶ ἀπολελυμένως. Χαρίτων δὲ ὁπλοτεράων, ἐπειδὴ δύο γενέσεις Χαρίτων ὑποτίθεται Ὅμηρος, πρεσβυτέραν καὶ νεωτέραν. διὸ συγκριτικῶς λέγει ὁπλοτεράων.
