[21] πολέας: in Hom. πολέες, etc., are always masc., and so Brunck would read πολλάς, but in Alex. writers these forms are often fem., e.g. Call. Del. 28, “πολέες … ἀοιδαί”, Dian. 42, “πολέας … νύμφας.”
ἐπεδοίασα: Ap. formed this compound on the false analogy of ἐνδοιάζω, which was from the Homeric ἐν δοιῇ εἶναι 'to be in doubt.' For δοιάζω see on 770 infra.
