Notes:
[1] =
Synagoge lambda147,
Photius lambda418 Theodoridis; cf.
Hesychius lambda1293. At base this seems to be commentary to
Homer, where the headword occurs numerous times (e.g.
Iliad 3.337, 23.508); cf. the
scholia thereto, and Apollonius'
Homeric Lexicon (109.7). In the Suda see also
lambda 703,
lambda 745.
[2] This part, lacking (Adler reports) in ms V, seems to be drawn from the entry on
faloi/ (
phi 61); see also
alpha 4549.
