[1] This glossing term occurs only here.
[2] Polybius fr. 168b Büttner-Wobst. Büttner-Wobst notes (536) that Casaubon attributed this fragment to Polybius. Büttner-Wobst also adopts (ibid.) an emendation of the fragment given by Schweighäuser, replacing katelqei=n, to come down, with kaqe/lkein, to draw to the sea.
[3] Polybius 21.12 (web address 1). [Adler records in her apparatus criticus that Schweighäuser replaced the headword (genitive) in this passage with metabolh=s. As in fr. 168 (cf. kappa 481), Büttner-Wobst (30) concurs.]
[4] As one of the glosses in Hesychius kappa1018 (s.v. katabolh/).
