5. ἵπποι τοῖς σύμμαχοις ἔπεμπε.

I'm a beginner, so I may be wrong (I've just done Ex 117)... I agree with most of your answers:

3. Ï„á½¹ χωÏ￾ίον στενόν ἦν (χωÏ￾ίον not χοÏ￾ίον)

5. ἵππους τους σύμμαχους ἔπεμπε. (He sent... so ἵππους, σύμμαχους in accusative not nominative)

I've not got all my accents in here, still struggling with that bit.

Hopefully someone will come along and validate my suggestions...

Well, kalowski, you are working fine too ! Here some further suggestions :

1. οἱ σύμμαχοι ἵππους εἶχον. (σύμμαχοι with a « khi » as you wrote in #5, circumflex accent on εἶχον)
2. εἰς τὴν κώμην ἦγον (note breathing and accents, particularly the grave accent on τὴν)
3. τὸ χωÏ￾ίον στενὸν ἦν (as kalowski said)
4. á½￾ ἄνθÏ￾ωπος κακὸς ἦν á¼￾ν πολέμῳ. (note the accents, particularly on πολέμῳ - Your word order is correct, but I personally prefer mine)
5. ἵπποι τοῖς συμμάχοις ἔπεμπεν (I find your dative absolutely correct, as it translates an indirect object. I don't understand kalowski here. If you want to express "to the allies" as the place the horses go to, you may say Ï€Ï￾ὸς τοὺς συμμάχους. Note the nu movable in ἔπεμπεν)

[kalowski]

Sorry, I missed a word out of my answer. I meant this:

ἵππους εἰς τους σύμμαχους ἔπεμπε.

[Hammurabi]

allo!

just a doubt

the dative for σύμμαχος is it συμμάχοις? I mean... the accent is it moved?

the same thing for πόλεμος , πολέμῳ .... ???

[spiphany]

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).

[Hammurabi]

Im sorry for the inconvenience!:o

but I got kind of confused:o

thus what is the dative for those two words??

[spiphany]

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.)
