Πύλῳ· πὰρ Ὁμήρῳ ἀντὶ τοῦ ἐν πύλῃ. ἐν πύλῳ, ἐν νεκύεσσιν. ὡς δείελον τὴν δείλην· καὶ ἕσπερον τὴν ἑσπέραν.

Notes (2)

  1. 1Homer, Iliad 5.397, where however editors prefer to interpret the phrase as e)n *pu/lw| "in Pylos" (cf. pi 3167). The note comes from scholia on this verse. ↩
  2. 2These are added as examples of other nouns where Homer uses a second-declension (thematic stem) form instead of a first-declension (a-stem) form. ↩
