Notes:
[1]
Callimachus,
Hecale fr. 355 Pfeiffer.
Hesychius omicron503 also uses
sth/rigma to gloss the word.
[2] Pfeiffer believes this is also from
Callimachus'
Hecale, and counts it as fr. 356. The
o)kx- variant of the
o)x- stem (
o)xh/, o)xe/w) is unattested outside
Callimachus (via the lexicographers).
