[705] For Protesilaos see 2.698, 13.681. “ ὠκυάλου ”, a curious compound; swift at sea? or swiftly leaping? Or can it be connected with “ϝελ”-, swiftly turning? See on “ἀμφιέλισσα,2.165. Herodianos is followed by Lobeck in regarding -“αλος” as a mere termination; Dionysios of Halikarnassos wrote “ὠκυἅλου”, to shew that it was derived from “ἅλς”.
