Why does the Homeric version have the "he" intro to teleo?

What's the line number with the word in it? Line 5?
Διὸς δ’ ἐτελείετο βουλή, is the standard end of the line "the will of Zeus was accomplished). If your text has a "he" on there, it's probably a font issue or a corrupted line in that edition.
