Notes:
[1] (cf. iota 103, iota 121.) Same headword already in Hesychius iota203, with the gloss oi)kei=on; Latte there tentatively suggests it is quoted from Homer, Odyssey 4.314; there are of course numerous other possibilities.
[2] Polybius 3.55.1.
[3] Diodorus Siculus 33.28a (28b in Loeb edition); cf. beta 121. For the Pharos see phi 114.
