Hesychius Kalleris and Fick suggested that the word is a misspelling and that it should be ινδία. ε ~ ι is generally attested in Mycenean Greek e.g. a-ti-mi-te (dative) » a-te-mi-to (genetive). ἰν- instead of ἐν- is attested in Cretan Doric. δέα » Proto-Greek *dewia » PIE *deino See Hoffmann (1906), Kretschmer (1934), Fick (1874), Filos (2015) |
