πολιούχου. Cf. . Πολιάς (v. 82. 3)—a more common form. For other references to her as guardian deity cf. Farnell, G. C. i. 298, 398 seq. ‘Plutarch’ (de Mal. H. 20, F. H. G. i. 32) quotes ‘verbally’ the account of Charon of Lampsacus: Πακτύης ὡς ἐπύθετο προσελαύνοντα τὸν στρατὸν τὸν Περσικόν, ᾤχετο φεύγων ἄρτι μὲν εἰς Μιτυλήνην, ἔπειτα δὲ εἰς Χίον: καὶ αὐτοῦ ἐκράτησε Κῦρος. In this account, as ‘Plutarch’ says, οὐδὲν ἄγος προστέτριπται; but Charon's silence is not inconsistent with the account here (cf. Intr. § 19).
