Notes:

See also epsilon 1507, epsilon 1508.
[1] cf. scholion on Sophocles, Ajax 786 (where the headword phrase occurs); also other lexica.
[2] Callimachus, Hekale fr. 281, with scholion; cf. epsilon 139.
[3] Agathias, Histories 5.21 (on using reeds to make a raft); but read pepiesme/nas. The extract here is from Agathias's account of the reed boat attack by Kotrigur Huns on the Thracian Chersonese (the modern-day Gallipoli Peninsula; cf. chi 215) in 559 CE; cf. Frendo (158) and for related entries, see alpha 1017, gamma 304, epsilon 85, and kappa 2274.
