Notes:
Same or similar material in Photius and other lexica. The headword adjective (see already omega 12, and LSJ entry at web address 1), here neuter singular, must be quoted from somewhere -- probably Hesiod, Theogony 806; cf. the scholia there.
[1] cf. epsilon 149.
[2] Ogygus' association with Thebes is first found in Pausanias 9.5.1 (web address 2).
