Quotation
ἡ διπλῆ ὅτι ἐπιθετικῶς ἀπὸ τῆς Ἐνυοῦς πολεμικῆς οὔσης ὁ Ἄρης Ἐνυάλιος, ὡς καὶ Ἀρήϊός τις ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἄρεως·
Translation (En)
Diplè because the epithet is derived from Enuô, as warlike, Arès Enualios, as one can be said Arēios "warlike" from Ares.

Ἀρήϊος, Att. ἄρειος, is the adjective regularly derived from Ἄρης. This explanation was so obvious that it is most of the time not mentioned in our sources, which oncentrate rather on the difference between the Homeric form and the Attic one.
