[1] = Synagoge sigma87, Photius sigma229 Theodoridis; cf. Hesychius sigma698. Probably from commentary to Homer, Iliad 20.165, where the headword in this form (nominative singular) appears; cf. scholia ad loc., Apollonius Sophistes, Homeric Lexicon 141.29-32. Other forms of the headword also appear in Homer at Iliad 11.481 (accusative singular; cf. Hesychius sigma698) and 16.353 (nominative plural; cf. Hesychius sigma697).
[2] This secondary headword occurs only here in this form (nominative singular) and its only literary occurrence comes in the first epigram quoted below (n. 3), where it is in the accusative case.
[3] Greek Anthology 6.45.1-2 (anonymous -- ascribed by some to Leonidas of Tarentum), containing the accusative singular form of the secondary headword (see n. 2). Also quoted at epsilon 4009, theta 314 and rho 10.
[4] Greek Anthology 6.73.7-8 (Macedonius the Consul), exhibiting a dative plural form of the primary headword. Find another quote from this epigram, a dedication and a plea to Pan by an old shepherd, at alpha 557.
