Similar material, variously, in other lexica. See further below, and cf. tau 961.
[1] From the scholia to Homer, Iliad 8.164, where the headword occurs.
[2] Theodoridis on Photius s.v. obelizes o)rh and footnotes the comment 'i.e. ko/rh' (as in Hesychius and elsewhere). That is probably correct, though see next note.
[3] Whoever added this etymological comment evidently intended it to explain o)/rh, construed as "he/she/it sees"; cf. generally LSJ s.v. o)/rhmi.
