Homer,
Iliad 1.151.
[3] As (says Harpok.) in
Lysias fr. 237 Sauppe (now 291 Carey OCT). The further observation there, reproduced here, probably arises from the curious use of
a)risfale/'... ou)do/s with a smooth breathing at
Homer,
Odyssey 17.196. This unparallelled use is usually taken as a form of
h( o(do/s 'way', but the Suda indicates that its meaning in that context is, more correctly, 'threshold'; cf.
omicron 46.
