[526] νέκυι is a disyll. also in 565, 24.108; cf. “πληθυῖ” 22.458 and four or five other words in Od.; “υι” remains uncontracted in “συΐ, δρυΐ, νηδύϊ” (?) 20.486 (van L. Ench. § 75). It is tempting to accept the variant “νέκυν κατατεθνηῶτα”; but the acc. is only twice found in this sense after “ἀμφί” (775, 17.388), and the dat. is the regular case, 3.70, 3.254, etc., while the compound “ἀμφιμάχεσθαι” takes the gen. (e.g. 533) — a case which is almost unknown to H. with the separate preposition, see on 825.
