Meaning
Tmolus delights Hipta as a beautiful dance-ground for the Lydians at XLIX.6. Θόασμα is a place for dancing here, not merely a seat or dwelling. The neuter noun stands in apposition to the masculine place-name, a grammatical difference that does not require the reader to invent a second location.
