Hello,
For the past few months I have been working on a text from Hippolytus in an 
effort to "jump-start" my own study of Greek, which, unfortunately, has lain 
comatose for over a quarter of a century.  I have been satisfied with my 
progress until I ran across the second clause of the following sentence in section 83 
of the Diamerismos:

hESTI DE TA ORIA AUTON APO MEDIAS EOS GADEIRON TA PROS BORRAN, EUROS DE APO 
POTAMIDOS POTAMOU EWS MASTOUSIAS TES KATA hILION.

Can anyone identify Potamidos potamou (capitalization follows the original).  
It appears to be something of a redundancy to me.  Also, can anyone identify 
'Ilion?  

Many Thanks,
Robert Sumner
