[493] ἠγίνεον, perhaps rather “ἤγινον” (like “ὀρ - ίν - ειν”), cf. “ἀγινέμεναι” Od. 20.213, “ἀγίνεσκον” Od. 17.294; “ἀγινεῖς, ἀγινεῖ,” Od. 22.198, Od. 14.105 may be accented to taste, and the longer form, though universal in later Greek (Herod. etc.), is certain in H. only in 24.784, Od. 10.104. If we keep it here we must of course scan -“εον” as one syll., for the -“ι”- is invariably long. πολύς is used predicatively as in 11.307 “πολλὸν δὲ τρόφι κῦμα κυλίνδεται”, in full volume.
