[500] ἵππων: apparently Priam kept a stud-farm at Abydos; compare 15.548 with note. His horses were of the famous breed of Tros, for which see 5.265-72, 20.221-30. It would be simpler to understand ‘beside his chariot,’ like “παρ᾽ ἀσπίδος” above (468; so Monro); but the order of the words is against this. In the Catalogue (2.836) Abydos is given to Asios, not to Priam.
