Ion. Τροίη, ἡ, Troy, whether of the city, ΄Troy-town΄, Il. 9.46, etc. ; or the country, the Troad, Τροίην ἐριβώλακα 3.74, etc. ; — also Τροΐα as trisyll., Sappho Supp. 5.9, Scol. 17, 18, dub. in S. Aj. 1190 (lyr., v. ad fin.); Dor. Τρωΐα Pi. N. 2.14, 3.60, A. Ch. 363 (lyr.); contr. Τρῴα Pi. O. 2.81 (cj.

[Zenod. and Aristarch. scanned Τροίη (Troy) as disyll. everywhere in Hom., but Aristarch. scanned (and wrote) (< πόλιν) Τροΐην as trisyll. in Il. 1.129, Od. 11.510, understanding ΄a Trojan city (city of the Troad)΄, v. Sch. Il. l.c. ; cf. Τρώϊος ; Τροίη (-ης ῃ -ην) stands at the beginning of the line in the phrase Τροίῃ ἐν εὐρείῃ Il. 24.256, 494, Od. 1.62, 4.99, 5.307; in the other 82 occurrences the trisyll. form is admitted by the metre, but should perh. not be restored, as disyll. Τροίη (-ης etc.) is almost inevitably so placed in a hexam. ; — codd. Pi. (in contrast to codd. Hom.) have Τρωΐα N. 4.25, al., and Τροΐα ib. 2.14, al. (with either spelling the word may begin with ˘ ˘), cf. Eust. 65.22.]
