II Sup.: 1 the form ταχύτατος is rare, ταχύτατα ἅρματα Pi.O.1.77; ταχύτατα as Adv., X.HG5.1.27 codd., Antiph.87 codd.; but both passages have been corrected. 2 the usual form is τάχιστος, η, ον, used by Hom. only in neut. pl. τάχιστα as Adv., most quickly, most speedily, ὅττι τάχιστα as soon as may be, as soon as possible, Il.4.193, 9.659, al.; ὅτι τάχιστα S.OT1341 (lyr.), Th.3.31, etc.; so ὅσον τ.
