Translation

and [sc. also spelled] doura/teos↗.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Δουράτειος ἵππος καὶ Δουράτεος.

Betacode

*doura/teios i(/ppos kai\ *doura/teos.

Notes

Likewise, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon.
This is the horse by which Troy was taken (cf. delta 1429): e.g. Homer, Odyssey 8.493.
The second spelling of the adjective is used in epic, as the first is unsuitable for dactylic meter.
