*lo/fos: tra/xhlos. kai\ to\ th=s perikefalai/as a)/kron. o(/ti faloi\ ta\ e)pi\ tw=n perikefalaiw=n lampra\ a)spidi/skia, lo/foi de\ ai( trixw/seis.
Notes:
[1] = Synagoge lambda147, Photius lambda418 Theodoridis; cf. Hesychius lambda1293. At base this seems to be commentary to Homer, where the headword occurs numerous times (e.g. Iliad 3.337, 23.508); cf. the scholia thereto, and Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon (109.7). In the Suda see also lambda 703, lambda 745.
[2] This part, lacking (Adler reports) in ms V, seems to be drawn from the entry on faloi/ (phi 61); see also alpha 4549.
