Extract

With regard to the vowel of the final syllable, Hesychius offers a gloss K · ‘E ‘H, and on this basis some modern scholars distinguish a god Kandaulas and a king Kandaules. I think that the validity of this distinction may be doubted. Hipponax’ vocative K is the proper form to K, cf. . So Hesychius, if his copyists are not at fault, has either formed the nominative wrongly from K or drawn on a non-Ionic source. For Ionic we need reckon with K and with nothing else.
