[722] Λήμνῳ: the Achaeans landed at Lemnos on their voyage to Troy and received hospitality from King Euneüs, 8.230 ff.; they sent slaves thither for sale, and received wine thence, cf. 7.467 ff., 21.40 ff., 24.753. — The repetition of the prep. gives to “ἐν Λήμνῳ” somewhat more independence from “ἐν νήσῳ”.
