[1] See LSJ s.v.
ki/gklos (sic) at web address 1, citing
Aristophanes,
Menander, et al., and commenting on the proper form of the word.
[2] cf.
pi 3056. A
lebhri/s, according to
Photius s.v., is "a bird of ill-omen". However, the word also means snakeskin (and, in
Strabo 3.2.6, hare), and there seems a strong possibility that two (or even more) proverbs have become conflated here. See also
lambda 218.
For further discussion see under
kappa 1585.
