Re: Exercise 80, page 19
Sorry, I missed a word out of my answer. I meant this:
ἵππους εἰς τους σύμμαχους ἔπεμπε.
ἵππους εἰς τους σύμμαχους ἔπεμπε.

Although the accent on nouns is persistent (it tries to remain over the same vowel or diphthong), it may be forced towards the end of the word if the length of the last syllable (the ultima) changes. This is what happened here. If the ultima of a word is short, the accent is allowed to be on the third-to-last syllable (the antepenult), but if the ultima is long, the accent cannot fall further back than the second-to-last syllable (the penult).

No problem. Accents are confusing.
Both forms you gave are datives: -ῳ is the singular, -οις is the plural. I don't know which form you need for the exercise. (And the accent in either case is on the penult, because the final syllable is long.)
