Notes:
On gau=los (the headword) and gaulo/s (which most of the entry turns out to concern) see generally LSJ s.v. gaulo/s (web address 1). (The difference in accentuation is less clearcut on the ground than is claimed here.) The entry draws on, inter alia, scholia to Homer, Odyssey 9.223, and to Aristophanes, Birds 598, and glosses on Herodotus 3.136.1 and 6.119.3.
