Notes:
The headword is apparently presented in two variant forms,
ki/sth and
ki/stis (though see next note). For the former cf.
kappa 1678; for the latter,
kappa 1680. See also
kappa 1578.
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica, including Apollonius'
Homeric Lexicon: see the references at
Photius kappa747 Theodoridis, where however the editor prints the second headword as
koitis (from the
Synagoge; cf.
kappa 2570).
[2] The spelling
ki/sqh is not elsewhere attested.
[3] Quotation unidentifiable.
