[484] Observe the effect of the ‘bucolic diaeresis’ in preserving the length of the last syllable of Ἀχαιοί before a vowel. The other instances in the Iliad are 2.262, 4.410, 5.215, 8.120, 11.554, 15.23, 16.226, 21.111, 23.441, 24.641, several of which, however, are only instances of contracted forms which have ousted the full forms followed by normal hiatus. See van L. Ench. pp. 75 f.
