[79] Νηληιάδη. The form “Νηλείδης” occurs in Il.23. 652.Similarly we find both “Πηλείδης” and “Πηληιάδης”. The two patronymic endings are “-ίδης” and “-ιάδης”, and the stem has a doubtful vowel, as “Νηλῆ-ος” and “Νηλέ-ος, Πηλῆ-ος” and “Πηλέ-ος”, which accounts for the double form.

κῦδος Ἀχαιῶν means, ‘of whom the Achaeans are proud;’ used of Nestor infra 202; Il.10. 87, 555; 11. 511; 14. 42; of Odysseus, Od.12. 184; Il.9. 673; 10.544.
