Foreign Term Issue

In 5.76 of the Iliad, the term "δῆμος" appears mid-sentence. Other instances of greek terms that appear tagged as "Term" have had a replacement english word that appears in the reader. This instance, however, does not. The line in the reader appears as follows:
"Dolopion, who had been made priest of the river Skamandros, and was honored in the as though he were a god"
In the Butler translation from Perseus, "δῆμος" appears as "Davos" (and was honored in the davos as though..) Other versions of the Butler translation that I've found on various school sites have rewritten the phrase to say "and was honored among the people as though..."
I left it as is for now, not knowing whether to use the Perseus Anglicized-greek or the other options.
