[264] πτολέμοιο, for “πολέμοιο”, which is given in a few MSS., is doubtless a survival of the original Epic formula “ὁμοιίοο πτολέμοιο”. Similarly the “πτ-” has been preserved in 24. 543, Il.9. 440. Il., 13. 358 Il., 635. Il., 15. 670. Il., 18. 242. Il., 21. 294.In the Iliad the weight of MS. authority in its favour is greater than is shown in La Roche's edition.
