Notes:
[1] Similarly in other lexica; references at
Photius rho202 Theodoridis. The headword, neuter singular of the adjective
r(wgale/os, is taken to be quoted from
Homer, Iliad 2.417; cf. the
scholia there. (Again in
Nicander,
Theriaca 376, with scholion.)
[2] Grammatically feminine in this instance; see further, next note.
[3]
Babrius 1.86, retelling Aesop's fable of the swollen fox; cf.
epsilon 1884.

konisaleos is mentioned in
