[748] ἀμφίς, one on each side of each chariot. Cf. 634, the only other case where (in the vulg. reading) “ἀμφίς” precedes the acc. governed by it. In both passages it has of course supplanted an original “ἀμφὶ ϝέκαστον”. Monro points out that δίφρος here means chariot and horses, whereas Homeric use restricts the word to the car as distinct from the rest of the chariot.
