Notes:
= Synagoge epsilon749; Photius, Lexicon epsilon1738. The headword is dative plural, and occurs as such in an Iliadic armor formula kala/s, a)rgure/oisin e)pisfuri/ois a)rarui/as ("fine [greaves] fitted with silver ankle-pieces"): Homer, Iliad 3.331 (web address 1), 11.18, 16.132. The entry probably derives from scholia/commentary on the first of these passages; cf. also Apollonius Sophistes, Homeric Lexicon 74.19-20, and Hesychius epsilon5275.
For 'greaves' see kappa 1866.
