Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica; see the references at Photius kappa1320 Theodoridis. This neuter singular of the headword adjective is common in mathematical and medical authors; see also e.g. Diogenes Laertius 7.157 (Chrysippus' finding of the visual cone); and kappa 1520. For strobilos -- a term with a cluster of meanings including spinning-top, cyclone, and pirouette -- see sigma 1208 and generally LSJ s.v. For "cone," see kappa 2289.
[2] Greek Anthology 5.13.3-4 (Philodemus); cf. lambda 768. The passage does not use the headword adjective itself but a neuter noun related to it.
