[1] i.e. etymologized as if from eu)= and a)/gw.
[2] Likewise (though with 'metaphorical' as an adverb) in Photius.
[3] Greek Anthology 7.34.1-2 (Antipater of Sidon), on Pindar; quoted again at chi 33; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 17) and (vol. II, 47-48). For Pindar see generally pi 1617, pi 1619; for Pieria, one of the notional homes of the Muses, pi 1564. Gow and Page note (vol. I, 17) that here the Anthologia Palatina (AP) reads u(/pnwn (genitive plural, slumber, sleep of death), and the Anthologia Planudea transmits baruu/mnwn (otherwise unattested; perhaps: "of weighty hymns"), but they follow the AP scribe designated C (the Corrector) and the Suda in reading u(/mnwn.
