[1] The headword (and so this gloss) is dative plural, probably extracted from the second of the two quotations about to be given; alternatively, perhaps from Josephus, Jewish Antiquities 3.156.
[2] Greek Anthology 6.206.5-6 (which does not in fact illustrate the headword noun itself). In the epigram, attributed to Antipater of Sidon, five young women dedicate items to Aphrodite; cf. Gow and Page (Hellenistic Epigrams, vol. I, 13); (Hellenistic Epigrams, vol. II, 38-39); and further lines at beta 310, epsilon 3743, theta 30, and kappa 1273.
[3] Greek Anthology 6.207.5-6 (Archias), dedications to Aphrodite by five women from Naucratis (q.v. nu 58); cf. Gow and Page (Garland of Philip, vol. I, 404-405), (Garland of Philip, vol. II, 437-438), and more excerpts from this epigram at kappa 1273, mu 102, and rho 319.
