[142] ἵππων and “ἵππωι” suit the sense equally, the pl. “ἵππων” being general, practically = “ἵππιον”. It is not clear what Ar. and Aph.read, as the schol. of Did. is corrupt, but it is possible that there was a variant “ἵπποιν”: the dual suits the Homeric use of horses in pairs rather than in threes or fours.
