The headword is a masculine noun, here in the accusative case. It is taken to be quoted from
Homer,
Iliad 22.469: cf. the
scholia there. Same or similar glossing in other lexica: see the references at
Photius kappa541 Theodoridis, and nn.1-3 below.
[1]
kekru/fanton in
Photius, but obelized by Theodoridis; either way, Dindorf identified this as a corruption of
kroku/fanton, "woven on the woof", with which the headword is glossed in
Hesychius (kappa2111 s.v.
kekfrufa/lous) and the
scholia to
Homer,
Iliad 22.469 (
scholia vetera, D
scholia, Meletoniotes'
scholia); Meletiniotes already corrupts it into
kroku/fa[n]ton. The word is glossed with
kekru/falon in reverse, in the
Etymologicum Gudianum, the
Etymologicum Magnum, and
kappa 2458.
[2] Spelled thus also in
Hesychius kappa2110 and elsewhere; alternatively with double beta. Either way, rare.
[3] A gloss again at
sigma 429.

Greek Anthology 5.260.1 (Paul the Silentiary). Find further excerpts from this epigram, in which the poet obsesses over his lover's hairstyles, at
delta 307,
epsilon 1658, and

Greek Anthology 6.206.3-4 (Antipater of Sidon). The adjective
filo/plektos "tending to be braided" is usually taken to be a corruption of
filo/plagktos, "errant, straying". The phrase "dyed with flowers of the grey sea" is normally translated as "dyed with sea-purple", possibly by influence from 6.206. On this epigram, the dedication by five young women of clothing and personal items to Aphrodite, see Gow and Page (vol. I, 13); (vol. II, 38-39); and further excerpts at
alpha 4004,
beta 310,
epsilon 3743, and
theta 30. Here Gow and Page, following a suggestion of Hecker, read
filopla/gktoio, in the (epic) genitive singular (cf. LSJ s.v.
filo/plektos); cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 13) and (vol. II, 38).

Greek Anthology 6.207.2 (
Archias), a paraphrase of 6.206; cf. under
rho 319. See further extracts from this epigram, the dedications of five women to Aphrodite, at
alpha 4004 and
mu 102.
