The quantity of the <I> in this poet's name is evident in a Latin source, Statius, Silvae V.3.153 (in context):
Hinc tibi vota patrum credi generosaque pubes
te monitore regi, mores et facta priorum
discere, quis casus Troiae, quam tardus Vlixes,
quantus equum pugnasque virum decurrere versu
Maeonides quantumque pios ditarit agrestes 150
Ascraeus Siculusque senex, qua lege recurrat
Pindaricae vox flexa lyrae volucrumque precator
Ibycus et tetricis Alcman cantatus Amyclis
Stesichorusque ferox saltusque ingressa viriles
non formidata temeraria Chalcide Sappho, 155
quosque alios dignata chelys.
OLD s.v. Ibycus: 'A Greek poet of Rhegium,
of the 6th century B.C., whose murder was
witnessed and revealed by cranes.
Cic.Tusc.4.71; uolucrum... precator ~us STAT.Silv.5.3.153.'
