[*] 254. Variation of Quantity.—a. In poetry the quantity of ι in words in -ις may differ from that of prose; as in tragedy ὄρνι^ς bird, κόνι_ς dust, ὄφι_ς serpent (in prose ὄρνι_ς, κόνι^ς, ὄφι^ς); so in Pind. ἰχθυ?́ς (prose ἰχθύ_ς) fish. b. κῆρυ^ξ herald, Φοῖνι^ξ Phoenician, μάστι^ξ whip have long υ and ι in the oblique cases except the dat. pl. (κήρυ_κος, Φοίνι_κι, μάστι_γα, etc.). ἀλώπηξ fox has ε in the gen. ἀλώπεκος, etc., by analogy to such words as ποιμήν, ποιμένος (ἀλωπήκων occurs in Ionic). πῦρ fire has πυ^ρός, πυ^ρί, etc. (285, 25).
