Notes:
On the etymology and spelling of
neogillo/s or
neogilo/s, see LSJ s.v. (web address 1). In the supplementary paragraph here the lexicographer proposes a rule for an alternation between
n and
l, but bases it on two atypical examples.
[1] Likewise in
Photius (nu126 Theodoridis) and elsewhere. The headword, accusative singular, is perhaps extracted from
Theocritus,
Idylls 17.58.

pi 1826.
[3] cf.
nu 435, LSJ s.v.
ni/tron.
