[1] cf. the scholia to Homer, Odyssey 24.438, where the headword occurs.
[2] An approximation of Greek Anthology 6.203.5-7 (attributed to Lacon or Philip of Thessalonica), which reads "thundering" [eribromou] for the Suda's erinomou and "of... Symaethus" [Sumaithou] for the Suda's "of... Eumethus" [Eumethou]. On this epigram, in which an old woman's lameness is cured by Nymphs, see Gow and Page (vol. I, 346-349); (vol. II, 369); and further excerpts at gamma 428, delta 959, pi 883, and pi 3256. Stadtmüller (330) adopted the emendation to e)ribro/mou; cf. Paton (402-403). Gow and Page, however, deem this correction to be too far from the text (ibid.) and prefer o)reino/moi ("mountainous"). The Symaethus (the present-day Simeto) is a river to the southwest of Mount Etna (Barrington Atlas map 47 grid F3). On the attribution of the epigram, see gamma 428 note.
