- Ieian; Apollo’s invocatory title
Meaning
Apollo is called ἰήιος at XXXIV.2 among Memphite, splendidly honoured, and prosperity-giving titles. Associations with the invocatory cry and with healing help orient the reader, but the line does not supply an etymology or an explicit translation. Keep the separately printed Prayer form ἤιε accessible through its own record.
