[[Τρωΐα]] Pi.''N.''2.14, 3.60, A.''Ch.''363 (lyr.); contr. [[Τρῴα]] Pi.''O.''2.81 (cj. Boeckh for [[Τροίας]]):—hence [[Τροίαθεν|Τροίᾱθεν]], Ion.

[Zenod. and Aristarch. scanned [[Τροίη]] (Troy) as disyll. everywhere in Hom., but Aristarch. scanned (and wrote) ([[πόλιν]]) [[Τροΐην]] as trisyll. in Il.1.129, Od.11.510, understanding 'a [[Trojan]] city (city of the [[Troad]])', v. Sch. Il. [[l.c.]]; cf. [[Τρώϊος]]: [[Τροίη]] (Τροίης, Τροίῃ, Τροίην) stands at the beginning of the line in the phrase Τροίῃ ἐν εὐρείῃ Il.24.256,494, Od.1.62, 4.99, 5.307; in the other 82 occurrences the trisyll. form is admitted by the metre, but should perhaps not be restored, as disyll. [[Τροίη]] ([[Τροίης]] etc.) is almost inevitably so placed in a hexam.:—codd.Pi. (in contrast to codd.Hom.) have [[Τρωΐα]] ''N.''4.25, al., and [[Τροΐα]] ib.2.14, al. (with either spelling the word may begin with), cf. Eust.65.22.]
