Notes:
[1] The headword, accusative plural, is quoted from Homer, Iliad 19.25 (web address 1). It is similarly glossed -- i.e. with this same pleasing semi-illogicality (again at chi 56) -- in the scholia there, and in other lexica.
[2] Quotation unidentifiable. (Adler suggests Symeon Metaphrastes.)
