Notes:
One of the many Suda entries which differentiate between words that, by this time, were indistinguishable in pronunciation
[1] From pei=ra "trial, attempt"; cf. alpha 3128 (web address 1). (Likewise in Hesychius. Gloss from the scholia to Homer, Iliad 12.304, where the headword occurs.)
[2] From pe/ras "limit, boundary" (web address 2). (Likewise, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon. Now the headword is feminine, and therefore surely stems from Homer, Odyssey 10.195, decsribing Circe's island.)
