Same entry in the Synagoge (phi186) and Photius' Lexicon (phi282 Theodoridis); similar one elsewhere, including Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon and the scholia to Homer, Odyssey 5.250, where the genitive of the headword occurs. Connected with phi 617, it appears as an adjective accompanying 'ship' in Homer, later as a self-standing term.
