Same or similar entry in other lexica. The headword is better spelled a)floismo/s: see LSJ s.v. It occurs in Homer, Iliad 15.607, of Hector foaming at the mouth in the fury of battle (web address 1). Apollonius the Sophist (Homeric Lexicon 49.3) quotes the verse differently (a)floismo\s de\ peri\ sto/ma gi/net' o)do/ntwn) and interprets the headword as referring to a sound (yo/fos).
