Homer,
Iliad 24.721 (web address 1). Here most manuscripts have
qrh/nous (accusative) -- i.e. as the present headword -- which would be in apposition to
a)oidou/s ("singers"), but editors accept the minority reading
qrh/nwn e)ca/rxous, "leaders of laments."
[3] That is, uses the first element of the compound word alone, with the meaning of the whole word.
[4] cf.
kappa 388.
[5] For Patroclus see
pi 796.
