Notes:
[1] Up to this point the entry = scholia to Homer, Iliad 12.320 and to Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 4.1004. See also the first part of Hesychius epsilon3522, and cf. (with different genders/cases) Apollonius Sophista, Homeric Lexicon 69.34; scholia to Homer, Odyssey 2.307; ps.-Herodian 35; and with (misguided) etymologizing Etymologicum Magnum 347.24; Choeroboscus, Prolegomena 148.9 etc.
[2] An approximation of Greek Anthology 6.332.5-6 (the Emperor Hadrian, writing of Trajan), the mss of which read (more credibly) a)teirh/s in place of a)teirei=s, yielding the meaning "when he, tireless, sacked the haughty Getae....". For the Getae of the lower Danube, targeted in Trajan's two Dacian Wars, cf. epsilon 1961. Find further excerpts from this epigram at kappa 454, kappa 2391, lambda 609, and omicron 955.
